President-elect Donald Trump has accused CNN of reporting “fake news” regarding his reported intention to maintain an executive producer credit on The Celebrity Apprentice after moving into the White House.
He would not be working on the series at all, he said in two tweets sent before dawn on Saturday, “even part time”.
MGM said on Thursday Trump would not remove his name from the titles of the forthcoming season of The Celebrity Apprentice. On Friday, senior adviser Kellyanne Conway told CNN the president-elect’s ties to his reality show were being reviewed for potential conflicts of interest.
Trump’s charge against CNN is an emotive one, both regarding potential clashes between the president-elect’s business empire and his new role and as debate continues over the impact of “fake news” on the election and Russia’s likely involvement in its spread.
