00:00Penn Jillette says he knows for a fact that Celebrity Apprentice creator Mark Burnett
00:04possesses tapes of President Donald Trump, saying disparaging racist remarks while
00:09working on the NBC reality show because he was there.
00:12The magician, who appeared on Celebrity Apprentice back in 2012, told Vulture in a new interview
00:17that he's positive recordings exist, stating,
00:25The infamous tapes are once again in the news after former White House staffer and reality
00:29star Omarosa Manigault Newman said she heard the tapes, which allegedly include
00:34Trump using the N-word. She's currently on a high-profile media tour for her tell-all book
00:39about her time working on the Trump campaign and in the White House before she was fired.
00:44On Tuesday, Trump tweeted that Burnett assured him the tapes do not exist.
00:48But Jillette says otherwise. However, he wouldn't get into specifics.
00:52He says that now Trump is president, the stakes are really high, and he doesn't want to get the details wrong.
00:58But he did reveal that aside from racially insensitive remarks, Trump would also make
01:02sexual comments about women that made him uneasy.
01:05During an MSNBC interview on Tuesday, Manigault Newman said that Trump should be afraid of being exposed
01:11as the misogynist and racist that he is.
01:13And at Tuesday's press briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders vigorously defended
01:18the president. But she said she cannot guarantee that the American people will never hear a tape
01:24of President Trump using the N-word. For the latest updates on this story, head to THR.com.
