Twice failed presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, admitted her new political thriller "State of Terror" is based on former President Donald Trump.
As Clinton ramps up her media appearances, fueling speculation she may rin in 2024, she accused Trump of 'masterminding' the January 6 Capitol riot.
CNN host Fareed Zakaria asked about claims her novel was an attack on President Trump.
"Having lived through that presidency, when it came time to write a political thriller with my friend and collaborator Louise Penny, of course, I would draw from the reality that we all have experienced,' Clinton said, adding that 'it's a good thriller."

Clinton said Trump is 'assaulting' democracy.
"I do think our democracy is under continuous assault by the former president, who masterminded a coup in the attack on our Capitol, has continued to promote the false accusation that the election of 2020 was somehow rigged against him," Clinton said.
She added:
"I think he poses a real clear and present danger to the United States."
Clinton urged her fellow Democrats to 'zero in' on Americans' everyday concerns before the 2022 election and accused Republicans of trying to run and govern on fear.

"They do a really good job scaring people and making people afraid. They don't deliver for people except for, I guess in an emotional way, when people are frustrated they feed conspiracy theories, they make up stuff, but they don't deliver for people," Clinton said of the opposing party.
Trump also has a pre-recorded interview on Fox News where he said he would welcome a challenge from Clinton in 2024.
"I hope so -- I mean, I'd like that," he said when asked whether a rematch was on the table.
Trump accused her of cheating in the 2016 election.
"But look – the woman's crooked as can be," he said.
"She cheated in the election, they spied on my campaign."
Neon Nettle reported recently that Clinton said Americans would not “recognize our country” if Trump wins in 2024.
Clinton made the remarks during a sit-down interview that aired Sunday with NBC’s “Today” host Willie Geist, where she warned that re-electing Trump would mean "the end of our democracy."
