Justice Department demands information on anonymous author of 'A Warning'
By Brian Flood, Sam Dorman | Fox News
The Justice Department on Monday demanded information on the anonymous senior Trump administration staffer behind the infamous 2018 "resistance" New York Times op-ed ahead of the mysterious author’s upcoming anti-Trump book.
Fox News confirmed that Justice Department officials asked for details on the anonymous author in a letter to the publisher on Monday, which also indicated that the secretive author could be subject to nondisclosure agreements.
"If the author is, in fact, a current or former 'senior official' in the Trump administration, publication of the book may violate that official's legal obligations under one or more nondisclosure agreements, including nondisclosure agreements that are routinely required with respect to information obtained in the course of one's official responsibilities or as a condition for access to classified information," Assistant Attorney General Joseph Hunt wrote. "Such agreements typically require that any written work potentially containing protected information be submitted for pre-publication review. Courts have approved the imposition of a constructive trust to collect the proceeds of the breach generated by an unapproved publication."
