Anonymous Writer Of Anti-Trump Book ‘A Warning’ Being Intimidated By DOJ

A new report alleges that the anonymous senior White House official and writer of the anti-Donald-Trump book, “A Warning,” is facing pressure from the Department of Justice to prevent the release of the book. According to a letter obtained by CNN Business, the DOJ has attempted to push back against the release of the book by telling the mysterious official that writing it potentially violated certain non-disclosure agreements.

Javelin, the literary agency handling “A Warning,” has dismissed this argument and plans to move ahead with the book's release. Furthermore, they are accusing the DOJ of attempting to out the identity of the writer.

“Our author knows that the President is determined to unmask whistleblowers who may be in his midst. That's one of the reasons A WARNING was written,” Javelin said. “But we support the publisher in its resolve that the administration's effort to intimidate and expose the senior official who has seen misconduct at the highest levels will not prevent this book from moving forward.”

The author of “A Warning” first entered the discourse in 2018 when the New York Times published an op-ed he or she had written, wherein they bring to light what they perceived as the President’s low competency for the role. In response, Trump accused the official of treason and attempted to deduce their identity.

CNN has been told that “elaborate” measures are in place to protect the writer’s identity in the lead-up to their book’s release.

The writer has said that they are nonetheless prepared for the possibility of their identity leaking to the public.
