The former president was reportedly seething when this detail was leaked.
Donald Trump’s lowest moment in the White House might’ve been a literal one: when the then-president fled to an underground bunker as anti-racism protesters gathered outside.

The new book, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost” by Michael C. Bender, reveals that Trump was livid when his location was leaked and he was mocked for going into hiding.
Colbert explained:“The ex-president was so embarrassed when his little hidey-hole adventure was leaked that he reportedly said, ‘Whoever did that, they should be charged with treason,’ adding: ‘They should be executed!’”
Those comments prompted a warning from Colbert.

Colbert was referring, of course, to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the Trump attorney who started leaking from his hairline during an infamous news conference last year:
