Apprentice producer Mark Burnett says he's a Democrat and

he will NOT pursue legal action if more unaired excerpts are released -- but he himself is under contractual obligation and cannot release them.

Hours after an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll taken after the video's release and before Sunday's debate showed him trailing Clinton by double digits, Trump said his newly launched scorched-earth tactics were meant to discourage the release of more evidence.

Reports of possible damaging transcripts of Trump from his years as a star of the NBC reality show "The Apprentice" continued to swirl Monday, leading MGM and producer Mark Burnett to release a statement denying that they would pursue legal action if unaired excerpts were released.

"The recent claims that Mark Burnett has threatened anyone with litigation if they were to leak such material are completely and unequivocally false. To be clear, as previously reported in the press, which Mark Burnett has confirmed, he has consistently supported Democratic campaigns," the statement read.

MGM is out with a new statement claiming that they are not able to release raw footage of Donald Trump during his time on the show "The Apprentice" because of contractual obligations.

"MGM owns Mark Burnett's production company and 'The Apprentice' is one of its properties. Despite reports to the contrary, Mark Burnett does not have the ability or the right to release footage or other material from 'The Apprentice.' Various contractual and legal requirement also restrict MGM's ability to release such material," the statement from MGM and Burnett said in part.

Former "Apprentice" producers have begun coming forward, claiming that raw footage of Trump during the show would also be damaging. But, some of the producers have said, their contracts included a heavy fee if they leaked any of the footage (initially it seems, to prevent spoilers about winners of the contests). Clinton ally David Brock has pledged to pay any of the fees associated with a leak.

1. OK, then where did that information about the litigation, and Mark as a Republican, come from?

[madaboutharry]

2. Those tapes will probably

be out by the end of the week.

[goldent]

3. This campaign is a funny one

Can't wait for 2020.

[bigdarryl]

4. I heard he's a Trump supporter

[pnwmom]

8. Well, wouldn't Burnett know? And it makes sense

because the only donations reported in his name are all to Democrats.

[helpisontheway]

12. Maybe he normally supports Democrats but is supporting

Trump this year' because he knows him.

[pnwmom]

15. So you think he's lying? He says he's a Democrat. Period.

"To be clear, as previously reported in the press, which Mark Burnett has confirmed, he has consistently supported Democratic campaigns," the statement read. "

[lillypaddle]

13. "some people are saying"

Right?

[deathrind]

5. Well here is your October surprise.

I would bet that by the end of the week and maybe each week after leading up to Nov 8th we might be hearing more and more of DT's greatest hits.

This statement pretty much ensures that there is going to be more coming. It is practically an invitation for more to be released.

6. David Brock got that kind of money?

[Ace Rothstein]

9. Brock may not have that kind of money.

But he certainly knows people who do have it.

7. Wow.. that clears that up. there was so much speculation the last

few days about it.

Thank you, pnwmom!

[Tarheel_Dem]

10. Isn't there a GOFUNDME to pay their legal fees if they release? n/t

14. David Brock says he'll pay legal fees of 'Apprentice' employees who leak Trump tapes

"The New York Daily News is reporting that another producer of "Apprentice" claims there are tapes with "far worse" language by Trump."

So we shall see

20. Thanks Cha. I thought I had either heard or read a headline to the effect.

[BainsBane]

11. He must have gotten a lot of blowback for his previous remarks.

[Coyotl]

16. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in Trump's penthouse right now?

Imagine the litany of profanities, "I'll throw that MF in a dungeon, no a work prison in Siberia, get Putin on the phone...."

[obamanut2012]

17. Methinks someone couldn't handle the blow back from his previous stance

Bet he regrets helping his buddy Donald with the GOPCon.

[msanthrope]

18. Hey, Wikileaks!!! Oh, right....nt

[MiniMe]

19. Burnett is thinking about his "brand"

For the Apprentice.

Sorry Mark, your brand is ruined now

[LaydeeBug]

21. Marc Burnett, the tribe has spoken. Bring me your torch.

Because this shit right here is some SUPER fucking unacceptable shit. That show was allowed to continue and all they did about his sexism...all they did about his RAMPANT fucking misogyny was EDIT IT OUT. wtf?? wtf?? wtf????

They didn't cancel his show. They didn't give him a proper sizing down. They didn't suspend him. they gave him no memo saying this was unacceptable. They told him nothing about this creating a hostile work environment and that's not the kind of entertainment they do. They did NOTHING other than hide it.

BOTH of them are on the fucking racks for this. In fact, is MGM *JOINING* them? It fucking looks like that *are*.

And I don't give a rat's ass if he is the biggest liberal ever figured.
