Fox News

Audio obtained by Tucker Carlson Tonight from March 2016 reveals a conversation that Zucker had with then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen. In the recording, Fox News says Zucker could be heard offering to give Trump, who was then the Republican presidential frontrunner, advice after CNN hosted a Republican primary debate. Zucker, who as NBC Entertainment president tapped Trump to star in The Apprentice, also offered Trump a CNN show. "I have all these proposals for him," Zucker told Cohen. "I want to do a weekly show with him and all this stuff."
