Donald Trump denies storming out of Piers Morgan interview, leaks audio to prove it
Global News
Audio leaked by Donald Trump's team appears to show that the former president exchanged pleasantries with Piers Morgan after the interview.
Former U.S. president Donald Trump is denying that he stormed out of a highly publicized interview with Piers Morgan after the British television presenter released a teaser for the segment that shows Trump abruptly leaving the room.
Trump’s team is claiming that the trailer was misleadingly edited to generate buzz for Morgan’s new show. In the video, it appears that Trump walks out in anger, ordering the crew to “turn the camera off” after Morgan pressures him with hardball questions.
The interview will air on Talk TV, a new subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., and has been billed as “the most explosive interview of the year.”
Trump’s alleged walkout was reported by the New York Post, also a subsidiary of News Corp.
Trump spokesperson Tayor Budowich said of the trailer: “This is a pathetic attempt to use president Trump as a way to revive the career of a failed television host.”
A recording of the interview has been leaked by Trump’s team and it appears to show that Morgan and the former president exchanged pleasantries after the interview. There are no signs that Trump stormed off the set in this recording.
Morgan says, “That was a great interview,” at the end of the recording and Trump agrees, saying “Yeah.”
