I can think of at least two reasons.
1) There most certainly are contractual obligations between producers of the Apprentice and Trump. I'm sure the quality of the show depends on being able to have cameras everywhere, on all the time. It would follow then, that part of the compromise includes controlling any embarrassing or controversial content. Mark Burnett and his people (the ones who own the alleged tape), are still making the Apprentice, and have a vested interest in maintaining it as a going concern. Regardless of the credibility of any lawsuit, it's sure to tie up time and resources that could conceivably end the show. Why kill a golden goose just to hurt a guy who's already won anyway.
2) The article states that the infamous "n word" quote occurs off-camera. In legal speak, that means it didn't happen at all. So publishing this is really straddling the line between gossip and slander.
