Help Me Here - Did The WH Approve Bolton's Manuscript?.....
Bolton had to pass his manuscript to the WH for approval. We've heard that someone might have copied it so there were multiple manuscripts going around and one possibly leaked to the NYT.
We've learned that Bolton in his book said that Trump told him about the plot to withhold the aid to Ukraine for dirt on Biden.
It sounds like that passage has made it to his book that is supposed to be coming out in March.
Does that mean Bolton got approval from the WH for everything that's in the book - including him saying that Trump told him about the Ukraine plot?

The review was meant to be conducted by only those qualified to conduct classification reviews, so the "White House" was not technically supposed to receive it, if receive it means that it circulates freely among anybody whatsoever in the administration. Bolton's lawyers gave the administration 30 business days (real business days! 
) to conduct *just the classification review.* It was not submitted for some general prior restraint purpose.
