No racial slur is found on 'Apprentice': Trump
Donald Trump said yesterday he's perplexed by the claim of ex-"Apprentice" player Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth that she was called the N-word by a fellow contestant while they taped the show last fall.
Trump stopped short of calling the claim a lie, but said there's no film footage of accused name-caller Ereka Ventrini, or any other contestant, uttering the N-word.
"It's just something that wasn't caught on camera, and that's with up to 28 cameras going at one time, all the time," Trump said.
"With witnesses, nobody else has heard it," he added. "I think that if it happened, I'd be very disappointed that she didn't bring it to our attention. We're all trying to figure out why this wasn't brought to someone's attention a long time ago."
Meanwhile, Trump said he's recently reached an agreement with NBC to anchor a third season of "The Apprentice."
