Report: CNN/Buzzfeed to Release Damaging New Trump Tape 48 Hours Before Inauguration
'The Apprentice' out-takes allegedly show president-elect using the n-word
According to the source, who wishes to remain anonymous, a two minute clip has been cut from out-takes of Trump’s appearances on The Apprentice which is “very damaging” and “nuclear in impact”.
The tape has been circulating for a while in an effort to attract rich backers such as (((Mark Cuban))) or Larry Flynt who would be prepared to take the substantial legal risk of releasing the video.
However, with Trump’s inauguration looming, “the plan is to leak it to CNN and Buzzfeed (as the ultimate f**k you) on Wednesday at 3pm,” claims the source.
The source added that he had the names of the people who were set to leak the tape and would be getting in touch with Trump’s Senior Counselor Steve Bannon to pass on the information.
Previous reports containing the existence of such a tape circulated before the election and resurfaced again on December 16 when comedian (((Tom Arnold))) claimed he had seen the footage and that it contained Trump saying, “every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children.”
Arnold also claimed that “he had talked to several other Hollywood players who had also seen the tape”.
According to Apprentice creator Mark Burnett, MGM, which acquired his company, has not released the tape due to contractual and legal restrictions.
The goal is to neutralize the impact of the tape by pointing out that it is yet another underhanded attempt to de-legitimize Trump’s presidency and put him on the back foot as soon as he enters office.
According to the source, the original plan was to release a portion of the tape on Sunday or Monday as a teaser, but Trump’s feud with Congressman John Lewis caused the leakers to reconsider and hold off.
“They should have released it on MLK day, but they want assurances of financial backing in case they get sued. One person still works for the Apprentice, he even thinks this will help with ratings!” states the source.
The tape contains Trump allegedly using the n-word off camera and the objective is to “discredit the president before the inauguration,” states the source.
We will update this report with more information as and when it becomes available.
