Carl Icahn sets record straight on role with Trump

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has been rumored to be considering a role in the Trump administration as an economic adviser. In an interview with Fox Business, he shed some light on the issue.

“I would definitely never take a formal role. It’s not my nature anyway. I’m 80 years old. I never reported to anyone in my life. That’s not my nature. I could never get involved in Washington, into the bureaucracy of that,” he said.

Icahn did say, however, he would lend advice to Donald Trump should he ask for it.
