Lawyers seek ‘Apprentice’ tapes in Trump immigration suit
The Columbian ^ | November 14, 2018 | Alanna Durkin Richer, The Associated Press

Lawyers suing President Donald Trump over his decision to end special protections shielding certain immigrants from deportation are seeking unaired footage from his reality TV show “The Apprentice” to try to bolster their case alleging the move was racially motivated, the attorneys said Wednesday.

Lawyers for Civil Rights, which sued Trump in February , has issued subpoenas to MGM Holdings Inc. and Trump Productions LLC demanding any footage shot during the production of the show in which Trump “uses racial and/or ethnic slurs” or “makes remarks concerning race, nationality and/or ethnic background.”

Former White House staffer and fellow reality-TV star Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed without evidence in a book released in August, “Unhinged,” that a tape exists of the president using the N-word on the reality show’s set.

Trump has denied the existence of such tapes, tweeting that the show’s producer told him “there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa.”(continued)

Worried about that #walkaway aren’t they?

But, in all seriousness, people are forgiving. If he made disparaging remarks, he needs to apologize openly to the black community and remind them he has their back.

As long as they can find a Leftist judge to entertain their case (and, they will) it’s an effective Lilliputian strategy to tie-down Trump.

I fail to see how that would help their frivolous law suit in any way.

They will leak the offensive words portions to use in campaign ads. It is not about this case.

Why don't they show all the fundraising episodes where the money went to Wounded Warriors and other veterans charities?

Emulate Hillary...just destroy all the tapes.

She destroyed her emails after they were subpoenaed, so why not?

Tell them that the tapes only contained information on Ivanka’s wedding, and Yoga class.

Why are we once again allowing lawyers to railroad the right. These are not elected officials.

Here’s what they are forgetting. Motive does not matter as long as Trump acted legally. Motive is nothing more than a bait when fishing for activist judges.

How did we get here. I thought the law was the law. Since when does motivation matter? Such BS.
