		</div><p>Donald Trump has gone from the boardroom of NBC&#8217;s reboot of Celebrity Apprentice but he has kept a business connection to the reality show.</p>
<p>The US president-elect has an executive producer credit on The New Celebrity Apprentice, said Clare Anne Darragh, a spokesman for Apprentice creator Mark Burnett.</p>
<p>She declined further comment on Mr Trump&#8217;s participation in the show, which was taped last February.</p>
<p>The series debuts in the US on January 2, with Arnold Schwarzenegger replacing Mr Trump as host.</p>
<p>Schwarzenegger is an executive producer on the new show, as Mr Trump was on the original.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s continued stake in a TV series is yet another unusual aspect of the election of a businessman and reality star to the presidency.</p>
<p>Questions have been raised on how his extensive holdings may intersect with his actions as president.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has tweeted that he will disclose plans on December 15 to <i>&#8220;take me completely out of business operations&#8221;,</i> without detailing what that means. He previously said that he plans to hand over management of his business to three of his adult children.</p>
<p>That falls short of what some government ethics experts are pushing him for, which is that he sell his assets and put the money in a &#8220;blind trust&#8221; overseen by an independent manager not related to him.</p>
<p>In TV, a producer&#8217;s tasks can range widely, but the credit can also be given as a so-called vanity perk and for compensation without actively working on a project.</p>
<p>Trade publication Variety first reported he had retained the title.</p>
<p>NBC, which declined to comment, previously faced scrutiny over its business dealings with Mr Trump, which included beauty pageant broadcasts as well as The Apprentice.</p>

<p>In July 2015, NBC said it was severing its business ties to Mr Trump following his claims that many undocumented Mexicans immigrants are criminals and rapists.</p>
<p>The network licenses New Celebrity Apprentice from MGM, which produces it.</p>
<p>Burnett, a mega-producer whose other programmes include Survivor and The Voice, also answered for his Trump relationship.</p>
<p>He released a statement last October distancing himself and his wife, actress Roma Downey, from the Republican.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I am not now and have never been a supporter of Donald Trump&#8217;s candidacy. I am NOT &#8216;Pro-Trump&#8217;.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8220;Further, my wife and I reject the hatred, division and misogyny that has been a very unfortunate part of his campaign,&#8221;</i> said Burnett, who in 2015 was named president of MGM Television and Digital Group.</p>
<p>The statement followed pressure on Burnett and MGM to make public Apprentice out-takes after an Associated Press report that, during the show&#8217;s production, Mr Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexually tinged comments.</p>
<p>That report was followed by the release of an Access Hollywood audio tape with graphic Trump comments.</p>
<p>MGM said in October that it, not Burnett, owns The Apprentice and would honour confidentiality and artists&#8217; rights agreements in regard to The Apprentice. No out-takes were released.</p>
