Michael Cohen: Donald Trump wouldn't consider picking Kwame Jackson as The Apprentice's Season 1 winner because he's black

Vanity Fair

Trump's former attorney says Trump repeatedly used racist language, recalling to Vanity Fair the time they spoke about The Apprentice's Season 1 results, in which Bill Rancic beat out Jackson. “Trump was explaining his back-and-forth about not picking Jackson,” said Cohen. “He said, ‘There’s no way I can let this black f-g win.’” Asked to respond, Jackson tells Vanity Fair that he had heard that Trump had made such a comment. Cohen's comments seem to bolster what Omarosa said during her book tour over the summer, when she claimed that Trump called Jackson the N-word.
