Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who has been very involved in the Republican nominee’s campaign, met with an investor about possibly launching a Trump television network, the Financial Times reported Monday morning.
Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, met with Aryeh Bourkoff, the founder and CEO of the investment bank LionTree, some time within the past couple of months, the Financial Times reported, citing three unnamed sources.
According to the Financial Times, the “conversation was brief and has not progressed since.”
Throughout Trump’s presidential campaign, speculation and reports about Trump’s interest in using his presidential bid to launch a television network have percolated. Vanity Fair reported in June that Trump asked Kushner and Ivanka Trump to look into launching a media organization.
Trump in September denied that he is looking into starting his own network along with former Fox News executive Roger Ailes, who has become involved in Trump’s campaign.
“No, never did,” he told the Washington Post when asked about rumors that he is considering launching a media venture with Ailes. “I want to win the presidency, and I want to make America great again. It’s very simple. I have no interest in a media company. False rumor.”
Quelle Surprise?

How much money will there be in cornering the advertising dollars of white sheet and wooden cross vendors?
I read this story differently. They went to an investment bank, got laughed out of the office and told “Not just no, but HELL NO”, retreated with their tails between their collective legs and responded by saying “Nooo…we aren’t considering that, we only want to pretend to run a campaign”
Channel 69 obviously.
That’s the CW in Atlanta
Whoa. I used to know those guys. It was a band in Gainesville back in the day, mostly made up of professors.
