Trump mulls charging CNN $5 million for debate appearance http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/12/01/trump-mulls-charging-cnn-5-million-for-debate-appearance.html?intcmp=hpbt2 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump suggested to a Georgia crowd Monday night that he may charge CNN $5 million to appear at the next GOP primary debate, money he said could go to wounded warriors or veterans. Looking ahead to the next Republican debate, to be hosted by the network on December 15, Trump said: “How about we do this with CNN? I won't do the debate unless they pay me $5 million and the money goes to wounded warriors or vets.” Yes! Do it.
