Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, according to a new book by ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl.

Karl's book, "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show," was released Tuesday and covers the last days of Donald Trump's presidency.

According to the book, Mnuchin brought the idea of removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment to several Cabinet members, including Pompeo, The Guardian reported.

At that point, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao had already resigned, though Karl said he believes both may have supported the move.
