Incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday said President-elect Donald Trump “absolutely” intends to do “tough” interviews with the media.

“What he [Trump] did today – everyone in the mainstream media, some of the left-wing media, all got questions in. He’s not afraid of anybody right now,” Spicer told Fox News host Tucker Carlson when asked if he would be up for “tough” questions. “I think he aptly noted with respect to CNN, he’s not afraid to back down from anyone, right, left, independent, center. He is tough. He will answer the questions. And deliver a very forceful message.”
