Report: Ari Emanuel refused to open library of Miss Universe tapes [View all]

BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE

Ari Emanuel refused to release videotapes from the Miss Universe archives despite requests from Democrats in the weeks before the presidential election, according to a report in The Daily Beast.

Emanuel, a Democratic Party supporter whose brother, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, was President Obama’s first White House chief of staff, is CEO of WME-IMG, which bought the Miss Universe pageant rights and its archived video library from President-elect Donald Trump in 2015.

Some sources have told The Daily Beast that there could be video of Trump that would have been damaging to his presidential candidacy.
