Now a group of friends have started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the legal fees of anyone who leaks further footage that gives an insight into Trump's temperament.
The Trump Sunlight Campaign is aiming to hustle $5 million, the apparent fee quoted in Apprenticeemployees' contracts in the event of any show tape leaking. Reports have circulated in recent days that Trump can be heard using the N-word in one piece of footage. The fundraising page has hauled in over $11,000 at the time of writing.
Its creator, Aaron Holman, told Mashablehe started the page with a group of friends after talking about Friday's audio tape.
"We had a feeling there was more stuff out there," Holman, who says he works as a consultant in the healthcare industry, told us. But people "are being intimidated by the threat of a bunch of legal fees."

"Fundamentally, the American electorate have to think about so many complex things, healthcare, education, the police situation... really difficult decisions," he added. "The most important thing is knowing the character of who's running for office. The things that come out of their mouth is a good indicator of their character."
Holman said that the money is designed to be a "legal defense fund" for someone "who is yet to be named ... Our goal is for that person to know that there is someone out there that is trying to help and lessen any financial" risk.
If the money is not claimed, the organizers hoped to donate it to the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR). Holman said that clear, honest reporting can "communicate through all the madness" of a modern election. However, the CIR issued a statement Monday saying it would not accept the funds. "CIR does not and would not conduct any investigation in a partisan manner," it reads. Holman and his friends are looking for another beneficiary.
A Clinton donor has also offered to cover the legal expenses of any Apprenticestaffer who leaks a tape, BuzzFeed reports. "If a $5 million 'leak fee' is what stands between the truth and total Trump implosion, sign me up," American Bridge founder David Brock told the site.
Apprenticeproducer Mark Burnett released a statement Monday saying that he would not be releasing any unseen footage from the show and denying that he threatened anyone with litigation if they leaked any clips.
