And they're there. And so I'm trying to leave the plane. They're all waiting there at the gate. And then the people in Denver were really nice at the airline. I think it was United Airlines. And they got me out a side door. And they had a car waiting. So I was able to leave. And for a moment, I thought I was away from the media as I'm about to drive to prison. But no, they caught us.

They caught up with us. And I got there a little bit early to prison. So I told one of my lawyers who was driving me, you know what? We're like a half an hour early. I'm already giving him 14 years. I don't want to give him 30 minutes more. Let's stop for a cup of coffee or something.

So I went to this little restaurant, a little fast food place called Freddy's in Denver, the Denver area, Littleton, Colorado. And it was really surreal because people knew who I was and they were really warm and loving. I'm signing autographs. You'd never know. I'm about to go to prison for 14 years. And then the time came to walk in.

And I learned later that Trump was watching this because it was all live on television. And he had tweeted about it that day. I mean, I got a million reasons why I love Donald Trump. I was so alone. Everybody of prominence in politics and government and in the media were calling me all these nasty things.

And here's Trump, the only guy who had some authority and had a following, was the only guy saying positive things about me. They were compassionate. He wasn't necessarily saying... He was saying that I denied it and I'm entitled to a presumption of innocence. But there was compassion with Trump. And he tweets that day. I learned later.

I didn't know it then, but I learned when I came home that he tweeted that I see him walking into prison. He gets 14 years. Murders and rapists get four years. Do you think this is justice? I don't. Just a loyal guy to a guy that was on his show because I don't really know him that well. But to me, it says a lot about who he is as a person.

But then I walked in, and I get greeted by all these inmates, and I was a – People ask me, were you afraid? I wasn't afraid of anything. My life was so beaten down by what they did. I was so disillusioned. I was angry. There was bitterness, but I was mostly heartbroken and sad and missing my children, fearful of my children, my wife. They were left alone. I couldn't protect them.
