James Comey will be writing a book about his time in public service, including his tumultuous time as FBI director amid scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton’s emails and investigations into whether someone from President Trump’s campaign worked with Russia to influence the results of the U.S. election.
Trump fired Comey in May, and he subsequently testified before Congress about what he knew about the investigations into Russia and about conversations he had with the president. Trump said that one of the reasons he fired Comey was because of how he was handling the Russia investigation.
Comey has not yet selected a publisher, but he is being represented by Javelin, a literary agency. The book is expected to go to auction this week, according to the New York Times.
In his book Comey plans to discuss some of the principles that guided his leadership, and the book is said to contain previously undisclosed details about meetings with Trump.
