CNN obtained audio files from Bob Woodward's conversations with Trump in which the president compared his own impeachment to that of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

There were threats of impeachment against four presidents. Clinton and Andrew Johnson were impeached before Trump.

Nixon resigned from office before the House could impeach him for his role in the Watergate scandal.
