Donald Trump has slammed Piers Morgan for of his TalkTV interview.
It was announced on Wednesday night that the former US president would be Piers’s first guest on his new show Uncensored, which launches next week.
A dramatic video trailer teasing the chat showed Trump clashing with the ex-Good Morning Britain presenter over his claims that the last was rigged, it then appeared to show him walking off camera.
Trump has since claimed the clip has been ‘doctored’.
‘Piers Morgan, like the rest of the fake news media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview,’ the businessman said in a statement.
‘He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour. The interview was very strong on the 2020 election fraud, with me calling him “a fool” if he truly believed those results.’
The statement continued: ‘For those who want to make Piers look bad, compare his video promo and how it was doctored to the real thing.
‘Hopefully, they will now be doing some big changes to their final product.’
Piers fired back at Trump’s comments while thanking him for his time and a ‘great interview’.
‘Sorry you got so annoyed that I don’t believe the 2020 election was rigged or stolen from you, but as I said, where’s your proof?’ he continued.
‘If you have it, show us – or accept the result and move on.’
Piers’s 75-minute interview with Trump will be screened on TalkTV on Monday.
Last year, he made headlines after leaving ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain following an on-air clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The former tabloid editor said he did not believe Meghan’s claims from the headline-making interview, with his comments sparking more than 50,000 complaints, the most in Ofcom’s history.
Piers Morgan Uncensored launches on Monday at 8pm on TalkTV.
