This weekend, we are witnessing the demise of the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Leaked audio from 2005 shows Donald Trump talking about sexually assaulting women. He said that he kisses them without permission. He also talked about how he could “grab them by the pussy” and get away with it.
A producer, Chriss Nee, who works with Burnett, says the producers from The Apprentice is sitting on audio of Trump using the n-word. Nee tweeted about it, to Mark Cuban indicating that Burnett requires $5 million to cover what he is calling a “penalty fee” to leak the audio.

Folks, I have never worked on The Apprentice. I don't know what's out there. Or what still exists. I've heard rumors. Would love to know.

One of the actual producers, Mark Burnett, is threatening employees who release this audio. Somehow, he is still standing by Donald Trump. He said he will sue anyone who leaks the tapes.
Many former contestants, crew members, and other women involved have come forward to say that Trump treated them horribly.
An anonymous crew member said:
“If there was a break in the conversation, he would then look at one of the female cast members, saying ‘you’re looking kind of hot today, I love that dress on you,’ then he would turn to one of the male cast members and say ‘wouldn’t you sleep with her?’ and then everyone would laugh.”
A winner of The Apprentice, Randal Pinkett, has criticized Trump before. Trump talked to Pinkett about the female contestants he wanted to sleep with. The campaign issued a statement about it:
“These outlandish, unsubstantiated, and totally false claims fabricated by publicity hungry, opportunistic, disgruntled former employees, have no merit whatsoever. The Apprentice was one of the most successful prime-time television shows of all time and employed hundreds of people over many years, many of whom support Mr. Trump’s candidacy.”
C’mon Mr. Burnett, release the footage. This guy is running for president. We need to know just how bad his character really is.
