Scott McClellan was the White House Press Secretary from July 2003 to April 2006, the longest serving press secretary under George W. Bush. He left that post, disillusioned and frustrated, and went on to write a book about his experience. It’s called “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.”

He talks with KUOW's Ross Reynolds about his time in the White House, what he’s been doing since he left, and what lies ahead with his new role at Seattle University.
