Donald Trump claimed in an interview on CNBC that he had "never been a fan" of Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone, the billionaire investor who endorsed the former president's primary challenger, Nikki Haley.
"Well, look, I've never been a fan of Ken," Trump said.
Trump and Langone were in contact in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, according to archived records of the former president's schedule.
In a separate interview in January, Langone said he would not support Trump if the former president were the Republican nominee.
Langone co-founded Home Depot over 40 years ago, and he has a net worth of over $8 billion, according to Forbes.
