Whilst in America, Scott interviewed Donald Trump. Her 1995 documentary for ITV about Trump was the first investigation into his honesty. It exposed him as a liar who owed the banks hundreds of millions of dollars. Owing to a technical issue with the camera, Scott interviewed Trump twice. In the two interviews he was found to have contradicted himself; the programme intercut them. When it aired on ITV, Trump was shocked by its critical tone and threatened Scott with legal action and sent her numerous angry threatening letters, an issue which partly became public knowledge at the time. Trump warned ITV that if they sold the rights to any of the American television stations that were bidding for it, he would tie them up in the courts. ITV complied meaning the US press and public were unable to see the documentary. It also started a long-running feud between Trump and Scott. Shortly after the interview with Trump, Scott signed a deal reportedly worth $200,000 to host her own talk show, "The Selina Scott Show" for NBC Super Channel.
