News broke this week that Donald Trump would remain on as an executive producer of the NBC hit “Celebrity Apprentice” and the president-elect did not take kindly to one network’s coverage of it.
The president-elect lashed out at CNN in a tweet Saturday deriding its reporting on his “Celebrity Apprentice” credit as “fake news.”
Reports by @CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are rediculous & untrue – FAKE NEWS!

It is likely that Trump will merely receive the credit, and pay that goes along with it while serving no actual role in the show he helped create with Mark Burnett.
Not unlike how President Obama made millions off sales of books he wrote before he was elected to the White House during his 8-year term.
Trump insisted he would be doing no work on the show.
I have NOTHING to do with The Apprentice except for fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big stake in it. Will devote ZERO TIME!

The news that Trump would keep an executive producer credit was reported by Variety on Thursday.
On Friday Kellyanne Conway appeared on CNN to address the situation.
He’s a very transparent guy. Everyone can see what he’s doing, and the fact is that he is conferring with all types of experts who tell him what he can do and not do as President of the United States,” she said on CNN’s “New Day.” “If this is one of the approved activities, then perhaps he will consider staying on.”
