Newsmax’s CEO said Sunday that the news outlet “would never become ‘Trump TV,'” after a report claimed allies of President Donald Trump explored buying the cable channel.
“We have always seen ourselves as an independent news agency, and we want to continue with that mission. But we are open—[Trump] is going to be a political and media force after he leaves the White House, and we would be open to talking to him about a weekly show,” Christopher Ruddy, the CEO, told Variety.
