EXCLUSIVE: 'Mr. President, I'm sorry.' How Hillary groveled to Barack Obama after he told her to CONCEDE as his legacy lay ‘shattered at Donald Trump’s feet,' bombshell boo

In Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign political journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes tell how Clinton’s confidence at her victory was replaced by anxiety and resignation. In his first call to her on election night, President Obama urged her to concede

Hillary Clinton phoned Barack Obama on election night after conceding defeat and told him: ‘I’m sorry’.

The Democratic Presidential candidate stepped into an anteroom for the conversation to apologize for losing to Donald Trump in a conversation which has never previously been reported.

As she took the call Clinton knew she had ‘let her country down’ and that Obama’s legacy lay ‘shattered at Donald Trump’s feet’, a new book reveals.

Minutes earlier Clinton had called Trump and suppressed ‘the anger that touched every nerve in her body’ as she conceded.

She said: ‘Congratulations, Donald. ‘I’ll be supportive of the country’s success and that means your success as president.’
