According to Deadline-Hollywood, Fox promises that chief political anchor Baier also will discuss the ongoing Russia investigation, the Trump administration and other topics.

Lots to work with: In its bio of Comey, his publisher notes he served as director of the FBI from 2013-17 and was appointed to the post by President Obama. Comey previously served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and was the U.S. deputy attorney general in the administration of President George W. Bush.

The content of Comey’s book is top-secret stuff. Flatirons is using a password-protected electronic system on the project, and all who touch it — including shipping workers — have to sign NDAs, Politico reports.
