James Comey
Former FBI Chief James Comey testifies before the Senate intelligence committee on Capitol Hill on June 8.

In his soon-to-be released book, former FBI Director James Comey has declared an all-out war on President Donald Trump, likening him to a New York-style mob boss.

In his new memoir, โ€œA Higher Loyalty,โ€ Comey who was abruptly fired last year by Trump, calls the president โ€œunethicalโ€ and โ€œuntethered to truth,โ€ adding that the controversial commander in chief gave him โ€œflashbacks to my earlier career as a prosecutor against the mob.โ€

In typical Trump style, the president responded in a tirade of tweets, calling Comey โ€œa liar and proven leaker.โ€

Comeyโ€™s book, which goes on sale Tuesday, has been described by a CNN reviewer as โ€œthe most devastating, contemporaneous takedown of a sitting president in modern history.โ€
