Almost two years after the end of Donald Trump's US presidency, there are still new revelations about his actions in the White House.
The latest book, written by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, is called Confidence Man.
In it, she reports, among other things, that Trump was about to fire his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.

The mistake was pointed out to him by then White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.
