This marks the first television interview for Trump since leaving office in January 2021. Trump did however give a phone interview to Fox News in February to reflect on the life of late conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, referring to Limbaugh as a “legend.”
Days after leaving office, Trump created “The Office of the Former President.” The office is responsible “for managing President Trump’s correspondence” and “to advance the interests of the United States and to carry on the agenda” of his presidency, according to the statement.
