Spicer writing book about White House tenure to ‘set the record straight’
Sean Spicer is writing a book.
“The Briefing” will be published in July through Regnery Publishing, which calls itself “the leader in conservative books” and promises to shed “new light on the headline-grabbing controversies of the Trump administration’s first year.”
During an appearance on Fox News’s “Hannity” on Monday night, Spicer said that the book would “set the record straight.”
“I looked back at the coverage of the campaign, the transition and the first six, seven months of this White House, and realized the stories that are being told are not an accurate represent (sic) of what President Trump went through to get the nomination, to transition to the White House and then his first six months in office,” Spicer explained. “I’ve decided it’s incumbent upon me to set the record straight.”

During the interview, Spicer also blasted the press for what he called a “mass amount of incorrect and malicious attacks on the president.”
He said that the media holds “everybody else to one standard and themselves to quite another” and added that “you can’t pick and choose . . . which stories to believe and which stories not to.”
Spicer had a tumultuous relationship with the press, set from day one of his tenure, in which he falsely claimed that Donald Trump’s inauguration crowd was “the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period.” After just six months, he resigned over Anthony Scaramucci being hired as White House communications director.
