Is Judge Jeanine Pirro's Upcoming Book a Direct Response to 'Fire and Fury'?

The New York Times reports that Judge Jeanine Pirro is writing a book that will serve as rebuttal to the infamous and error ridden Fire and Fury which attempted to blast the current presidential administration, but Pirro denies those claims. 

According to the Times, Pirro and President Donald J. Trump met on Wednesday for lunch where he agreed to participate in the book. The Times sources say that “for weeks, the president has seethed about the depiction of him in Fire and Fury as a volatile and ill-equipped chief executive, even asking the White House counsel and allies whether a libel lawsuit against Mr. Wolff is still possible. (His advisers have told him no.)”

Pirro has been  friend of Donald Trump since the 1980s. However, she says her “upcoming book is not a direct response to Fire and Fury. The title on Amazon always has been and continues to be Liars, Leakers and Liberals and I plan to cover all of them.” Judge Pirro currently hosts "Justice with Judge Jeanine" on Fox News. 

On Wednesday, she tweeted a photo of herself in front of the White House, saying, "Guess where I am?" 

Pirro's book comes during a time of intrigue into the Trump White House. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has a book coming out in late July. Spicer's book, The Briefing, will give a “behind the scenes of his turbulent tenure as President Trump’s press secretary, shedding new light on the headline-grabbing controversies of the Trump administration’s first year.”
