Meanwhile German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) had on Monday apologised to Malik.
Malik had been interviewed by the TV station on November 4 regarding his early vote and towards the end of the interview he was abruptly cut off.
He took to Twitter to accuse DW of being corrupt, prompting a reply by the presenter Brent Goff who explained that they had run out of time.
Malik never responded to the presenter and so on Monday, the television station once again explained why Malik was cut off.
Trump has in the past accused American media of being biased in the coverage of the US general election.
