Rumors have floated around for weeks that Trump would start a media company with Roger Ailes if he lost. However, Trump said in September that wasn't true and told The Washington Post, "I want to win the presidency, and I want to make America great again. It's very simple. I have no interest in a media company. False rumor."

Politico's Mike Allen tweeted Monday that a source close to Bourkoff said "he never followed up" with the Trumps about the network and that Bourkoff has "no interest in being in business w/ Trump."
