Fox News host Sean Hannity will interview President Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday. It's Trump's first Oval interview since returning to the White House.

Why it matters: Trump has hinted at shaking up the briefing room and allies have praised unconventional news sources. But his first sit-down is with a longstanding, well-known TV host on the president's beloved network.

The interview will be pre-taped and will air on Hannity's Wednesday night program, which starts at 9pm EST.
Trump is expected to discuss his second presidential term, recent executive orders and what to expect from the first 100 days, Fox exclusively confirmed to Axios.

Between the lines: Trump tapped 19 people for his administration who have worked for the news company at one point, according to an analysis by NPR.

Hannity's show averages 2.8 million viewers, the highest rated cable show for the hour.

Flashback: Trump gave his first TV interview to ABC's David Muir his first time around.
