Trump's now claiming Mark Burnett called to say there are no Apprentice tapes like Omarosa described

Tweeted minutes ago:








.@MarkBurnettTV called to say that there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa. I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have. She made it up. Look at her MANY recent quotes saying....

....such wonderful and powerful things about me - a true Champion of Civil Rights - until she got fired. Omarosa had Zero credibility with the Media (they didn’t want interviews) when she worked in the White House. Now that she says bad about me, they will talk to her. Fake News!




Since the first stories about those tapes came out long before Omarosa was fired, and Burnett simply refused then to release any tapes, I don't believe this denial. Most likely Trump is pressuring Burnett to back him up.



Editing to add an old DU thread about this:

I have no doubt dump frequently uses the word. Sadly Burnett is protecting him.
I refuse to watch anything made by that vile asshole.

Sounds like he did use that word but perhaps someone besides Burnett has tape

Imagine this for just a moment....

Someone tells your spouse, “Bob has pictures of your spouse with another partner.”

You then tell your spouse, “I talked to Bob, and he doesn’t have any such pictures.”

Duh.

while supporting the most un-Christian person to hold the highest office. They and the blind Evangelical zealots are so disgusting.

How many people worked on that show who could have taped a conversation or two?

I know the tape exist, the whole world knows the tape exists, perhaps the media needs to get
Burnett to tell the truth, because Trump isnt going to.
