Hollywood actor and comedian Tom Arnold has claimed to have tapes of US President Donald Trump that are yet to be heard by the public, a media report said.
Tom Arnold, best known for his role in the 1994 comedy True Lies, made the revelation in a CNN interview on Friday night.
"Do you have any tapes of the President that the public is not already aware of?" Arnold was asked about his upcoming show for Viceland about Trump, which focuses on tapes.
The actor replied: "Yes... If you see, for instance, one full day on the boardroom set of 'The Apprentice', one full day, and you see how incompetent he was."
Arnold was a former contestant on Trump's show Celebrity Apprentice. Arnold is spearheading the show The Hunt for the Trump Tapes where the actor, who has been vocally critical of the president, will be filmed trying to track down damaging tapes that are rumoured to exist involving Trump, reports CNN.

This week, Arnold met with Anthony Scaramucci, the hedge fund operator who briefly served as White House spokesman, and a Huffington Post journalist. Last month Arnold tweeted a photo of himself with Felix Sater, a Russian-American who partnered with Trump on real estate ventures.
On Thursday, Arnold tweeted a picture of himself with Michael Cohen, and captioned it: “I love New York”. Cohen, who is facing a criminal investigation for his financial dealings, has been Trump's personal attorney for more than a decade. According to reports, however, Cohen could possibly be breaking his ties with friends and might cooperate with investigators to provide information about the dealings of Trump and the Trump organisation. He is also said to have facilitated payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to silence allegations of an alleged affair with Trump weeks before the presidential election.
Cohen went on to retweet Arnold's post and this action has called for much speculation about what he might reveal.
During the interview, Arnold said he would be spending the weekend with Cohen. Cohen, however, he was quick to distance himself from Arnold's claims. He denied any plans of spending the weekend with Arnold. In a tweet, Cohen also denied being part of Arnold's show or discussing Trump.
