Donald Trump ’s former press secretary has announced she will publish a memoir about her experiences in his administration.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the as yet untitled book, to be released in 2020, will tell of the ”challenges of being a working mum at the highest level of American politics”.
She said it would also deal with her role in “the historic fight raging between the Trump administration and its critics for the future of our country”.
“A trusted confidante of the president, Sarah advised him on everything from press and communications strategy to personnel and policy,” the book’s publisher, St Martin’s Press, said in a statement.
“For two and a half years, Sarah was at the president’s side, battling with the media, working with lawmakers and CEOs, and accompanying the president on every foreign trip, including dozens of meetings with foreign leaders.”
