Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer will be writing a book about his time under the Trump administration.
On Monday evening, Spicer revealed to Fox News’ Sean Hannity that the book, called The Briefing – set to be released on July 23 of next year – will share details from Spicer’s tenure as press secretary.
He also claimed that it will hit back at the news media for its ‘rampant hostility’ towards President Trump.
‘This isn’t about White House gossip. I can tell you from first-hand experience of the rampant hostility President Trump faces daily from the mainstream press, and I want the American people to have an opportunity to hear the truth they won’t hear from mainstream media,’ Spicer said.
‘I look forward to sharing my stories and setting the record straight.’

Spicer announced his resignation in July following a tempestuous tenure – six months after Trump took office – after it was announced that Anthony Scaramucci would be head of White House communications.
In response to his decision, Trump said that he was ‘grateful’ for Spicer’s work and ‘wish[ed] him continued success as he moves on to pursue new opportunities.’
Scaramucci himself resigned 10 days later. Spicer was replaced by Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Now, Spicer said he has decided ‘it is incumbent’ that he share his account of the time he spent serving under Trump.
‘I’ve decided that it is incumbent upon me to set the record straight and give people a real understanding of what happened through each of those crucial points in our history,’ he told Sean Hannity on Monday night.
