Hi, I'm Alyssa Malano, and this is Sorry Not Sorry. So, On January 20th, 2001, Donald Trump left Washington in disgrace.

After losing the election, losing every court case related to the election,

his supporters attacking the Capitol and his second impeachment.

It should have been for good.

Yet somehow in his years of exile he solidified

his power base and may well retake the White House. Politico's Meredith McGraw was in constant touch with Trump's inner circle during this time, and her new book,

Trump in exile, examines how it happened.

President Trump spent his final hours as President

aboard Air Force One, bound for Florida,

then riding in a motorcade to Marilago on Palm Beach.

In the spotlight more than ever, former President Trump's Marilago estate following the

FBI search that uncover top secret and classified documents the president took from the

White House.

Open the doors to Donald Trump's private club, Marilago.

It reveals a hotbed of far right extremism fueled by proximity to the ex-president,

now presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Marlago asked the Labor Department for permission to hire foreign workers, not American workers.

70 of them.

Hi, I'm Meredith McGraw with Politico.

I'm covering the 2024 race to the White House and have a new book out,

Trump in exile that tells the story of Donald Trump's return and the stakes of this election.

Sorry, not sorry.
