Schwarzenegger OK with Trump remaining 'Apprentice' producer
Actor, former California governor and current star of the new version of "Celebrity Apprentice" Arnold Schwarzenegger is unfazed that US President-elect Donald Trump has retained a producer's stake in the show.
Schwarzenegger said Friday that it's just business, comparable to his situation when he became California's governor and retained a screen credit and kept earning royalties for the "Terminator" movie. "So, I think this is a contract that he had and I think it's great that he was part of it," Schwarzenegger said during a red-carpet event for NBC's "The New Celebrity Apprentice."
Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway said Friday on CNN that his ties to the reality show are being reviewed by experts looking into the president-elect's business ties. She compared Trump's continued interest in the entertainment industry to President Barack Obama's off-hours golfing. "Presidents have a right to do things in their spare time, in their leisure time, and nobody objects to that," she said.
