CNN considered Trump for on-air role
In 2007, then-CNN boss Jonathan Klein approached present-day GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, about working for the network in an on-air pundit role, reports The Washington Post.
“I just wanted to meet her because she is so poised and intelligent and even back then was steeped in the family business and that was a pretty unique combination,” said Klein.
He added, “I brought a few colleagues along in the process to make sure I wasn’t crazy and the universal opinion was that Ivanka would have been terrific.”
Talks were never concrete between the two sides, however, Klein explained.
