Former President Donald Trump wasnt happy when the House of Representatives adopted two articles of impeachment against him, and he threatened legal action in response, according to an upcoming book by New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman .

Habermans book Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America comes out next week, but media outlets have shared excerpts detailing Trumps time in the Oval Office.

Trumps alleged call for legal action came after the House adopted articles of impeachment against him in 2019, CNN reported , after a formal House inquiry revealed he had pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the son of Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden .

Ill just sue Congress. They cant do this to me, Trump said, according to excerpts from Habermans book.
