May 24, 2024, 09:23 PM

Former President Donald Trump is taking legal action against the filmmakers of 'The Apprentice' biopic, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week. On May 22, Trump's campaign announced plans to sue the filmmakers, claiming the biopic is filled with debunked lies and constitutes election interference. Trump's legal team has also sent a cease-and-desist letter on May 24 to block the film's distribution in the United States, calling for its removal from potential distribution deals. The producers of the biopic, however, maintain that the film is a 'fair and balanced portrait.'
