SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' ex Willie Brown has threatened to sue former president Donald Trump after the ex-POTUS said in a recent press conference that he went down in a helicopter with him.

Trump recently told a helicopter story that the New York Times rated as false and the former president threatened to sue the media outlet for their article on the topic, according to Raw Story.

Willie Brown threatens to sue Donald Trump

Willie Brown said in a recent interview that he's considering to sue Donald Trump, as per Newsweek. The article stated, "Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown said he would consider suing former president Donald Trump in an interview with CBS News this week."

"His comments come amid a continued struggle over whether the two endured a treacherous helicopter ride together—something the former president and current Republican presidential nominee says did happen, but Brown says did not," it added.

As per the report, Brown said, "Somebody has got to make sure that he stops lying... If he keeps it up, at some point, I'm going to give him a taste of his own conduct. If he sues the New York Times for printing that I said he lied, I'm going to sue him."

Trump said during a Mar-a-Lago press conference, "I know Willie Brown very well. In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this was the end. There was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing."
