Trump releases audio that appears to refute claim he walked out of interview over 2020 questions
NBC NewsWASHINGTON — An audio recording obtained by NBC News appears to show that former President Donald Trump’s highly publicized interview with Piers Morgan did not end with Trump storming off the set, as edited promotional video clips suggest.
Instead, according to the recording, which was provided by Trump's spokesman, the two men thanked each other and laughed at the conclusion of the interview for Talk TV, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
Talk TV, which is set to debut Monday, teased the interview — billed as "the most explosive interview of the year" — in a video summary that is dramatized with cinematic music and portrays Trump as being angry about the content of questions Morgan asked. The video and the alleged walkout were reported in an article by the New York Post, which is also owned by News Corp.
"Turn the camera off,” Trump says at the close of the video clip as he appears to rise from his chair. "Very dishonest."
But the audio of the end of the interview appears to tell a different story. The two men laughed and thanked each other, the recording shows. There are no signs of Trump's storming off set.

The MAGA crowd is already beating up on Morgan and the NY Post (which went with the "Trump stormed off" story)
