*Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown is considering legal action against Donald Trump following a story Trump shared about a near helicopter crash involving Brown.
Brown denied Trump’s claims that he accompanied the former president in a helicopter or made derogatory remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Brown dated in the 1990s.
We reported earlier that former Los Angeles City Councilman and State Senator Nate Holden previously set the record straight in an interview with POLITICO, about the near-fatal helicopter incident involving Trump. It was Holden, not Brown, who accompanied Trump on the nerve-racking ride.
“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles. I guess we all look alike.”

As we reported, the helicopter incident made Holden especially nervous, as it happened in the aftermath of a tragic 1989 chopper crash near Forked River, N.J., which killed five people, including three high-ranking executives from Trump’s casinos.
Trump threatened to sue The New York Times over its coverage of the helicopter story, as he firmly maintains he was in the helicopter with Brown during an emergency landing.
Brown told CBS News, “If he keeps it up, at some point, I’m going to give him a taste of his own conduct,” he said about Trump.
“If he sues The New York Times for printing that I said he lied, I’m going to sue him,” Brown told CBS News.
Trump was speaking at a Mar-a-Lago press conference when he mentioned Willie Brown’s past relationship with Harris and claimed he knew Brown “very well” while recounting the helicopter story.
“We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing,” Trump told reporters.
Brown denied Trump’s account, stating, “I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life.”
Brown said “somebody has got to make sure” Trump “stops lying.”
