Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch discussed the possibility of buying the rights to Donald Trump's reality show 'The Apprentice' in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, newly released court documents show.
The pair then met with Burnett in Park City, Utah, according to the court filing. Asked during the deposition whether they discussed acquiring the rights, Murdoch said: “I don’t know. We didn’t get anywhere near it, and I don’t think we made an offer.”
The Murdochs' met with Burnett as Trump and some of his allies were criticizing Fox News for its coverage of the 2020 election. Asked whether the idea of acquiring the rights was bandied about to"satisfy" Trump and"bring him in the tent," Murdoch answered,"No."It's unclear from the excerpt whether the Murdochs were interested in airing old episodes of the show or producing new ones featuring Trump.
