The Briefing

by Sean Spicer

First published 2018

Sean Spicer spent two decades as a political insider before getting the call that changed everything. In December 2016, President-elect Donald Trump chose him as White House press secretary. Spicer walks into the briefing room where cameras roll and his every word faces scrutiny. Each movement gets parodied and every detail becomes a meme. Behind the scenes, leaks plague the administration and frustrate both Spicer and the president. The job puts extraordinary pressure on his family and faith. Spicer worked on the Trump campaign, transition team, and in the White House. He watched Trump rally voters, build an administration, and make policy decisions. Now he reveals the truth behind major news stories and shows what it means to stand at the press secretary's podium.
