"The Trump campaign is preparing to file suit against Cliff Sims for violating our [non-disclosure agreement]", Glassner said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump referred to Sims as a low-level staffer that he hardly knew. He went on to say that Sims’ book was based on made up stories and fiction.

"He pretended to be an insider when in fact he was nothing more than a gofer. He signed a non-disclosure agreement. He is a mess!" Trump said in a statement on Twitter.

Sims’ new tell-all-book, called “Team of Vipers: My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House”, hit the bookshelves on Tuesday. Advance excerpts have reportedly revealed embarrassing anecdotes about Trump and top White House officials.
