Those comments were part of a "venting period" that reminded Trump's aides of Nixon's final days in office, according to the Post, where Woodward is an associate editor.

Woodward, renowned for his reporting in the Watergate scandal that led to Nixon's resignation, reportedly depicts Trump as displaying unrelenting paranoia and anger about the investigation into Russian election interference and possible obstruction of justice on the part of Trump.

The book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," is scheduled to hit shelves Sept. 11.
