Jul 3, 2008 Rush Limbaugh signed an eight-year contract for about $400 million, a big jump from his last Clear Channel deal.
From WIKI:
Clear Channel Communications. In 2008 it was taken private by Bain Capital, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners through a leveraged buyout
In 1998 it made its first move outside of the United States when it acquired the leading UK outdoor advertising company More Group plc, which was led by Roger Parry; Clear Channel went on to buy many other outdoor advertising, radio broadcasting, and live events companies around the world, which were then re-branded Clear Channel International. These included a 51% stake in Clear Media Ltd. in China.
Who owns Clear Channel?
July 2008 Bain, together with Thomas H. Lee Partners, acquired Clear Channel Communications
Bain Capital is a global investment firm. Bain Capital was founded in 1984 by partners Mitt Romney, T. Coleman Andrews III, and Eric Kriss, Romney initially had the titles of president. He was also the sole shareholder of the firm.

Okay, I’m confused: WHO exactly “ordered” Rush to trash Trump for $400m?
