Former Fox News host Eric Bolling on Sunday denied that he is in talks with the White House for an administration position.
Bolling told CNN that comments he made last week about working for President Trump were spurred by the massive government spending deal he claims the president was forced to sign.

“I was so infuriated when I saw that big $1.3 trillion omnibus bill, this massive bill. Donald Trump wanted funding for the wall,” Bolling said on “Reliable Sources.”
“There was a drop in the bucket funding for the wall and he got pushed, that was thrown on him.”
Bolling said last week that he would be willing to work for Trump for as little as $1 if it meant he could work with the president to help achieve his policy goals.
Bolling, who has been a close ally of the president, said he’s had multiple discussions with the president about the opioid crisis following his son’s death due to an accidental overdose.
He was fired from Fox News last year after being suspended for allegations that he sent lewd messages to female co-workers.
