“The whole thing is hard for me to write,” the former president penned, according to a news outlet. “I couldn’t sleep for two years after the election. I was so angry, I wasn’t fit to be around. I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn’t be changed.”

Bill, 78, also wrote in the tell-all, which was released on November 19, that his wife was involved in the "darkest election possible in the United States" and blamed Russian cyber attacks and then-FBI Director James Comey for investigating her emails.

“Almost two years after the election, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a highly regarded social scientist said Russia’s cyber attacks piled on top of Comey’s interventions were effective enough to persuade voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to vote for third parties or stay at home,” he wrote.

“If so, Putin’s enablers were Comey and the political press," he added.

As OK! previously reported, Bill, who endorsed Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election, recently shared he believes a woman will take office one day — even if Kamala and Hillary both lost to Donald, 78.

When asked by Tracy Smith during his CBS News Sunday Morning interview if America was "just not ready" to elect a female president, Bill said: “I still think we’ll have a … female president pretty soon."

“Maybe, I think in some ways, we’ve moved to the right. It’s a reaction to all the turmoil. I think if Hillary been nominated in 2008, she would have walked in, just like Obama did," he continued. “I think all these cultural battles that we’re fighting make it harder in some ways for a woman to run."

Smith replied, “So, you think it has more to do with party than gender?”

“No. Although I think it would probably be easier for a conservative Republican woman to win," he said. “I mean, that’s what Maggie Thatcher did but I still think we’ll have a female president pretty soon."
