Hello, American listeners.

We have a bonus episode for you with a special interview.

And the reason that we thought you'd want to hear it

is because it's Kim Darrak, who used to be our man in Washington

until an explosive leak pulled him out of the job.

The week before that leak, I had spent the day with him

at the Ambassadors Residence on Massachusetts Avenue.

He was riding high.

The night before, Kelliang Conway, the president's advisor,

had thrown a party for him to mark the success of the state

visit that Donald Trump had just paid to the UK.

It was being spoken about that Darrak's term in Washington

would be extended.

Think tanks were circling, asking for his services, public

companies wanted to talk to him about him being on their board.

A week later, his career lay in ruins.

This is Emily in London.

And this is John Soapel on the Chesapeake Bay in Mererd.

We'll be exploring all that and more.

This is America's.

America's.
