SUMMARY
Former President Trump’s reelection campaign plans to sue the filmmakers of "The Apprentice," a biopic depicting Trump’s early real estate career, for alleged falsehoods. Campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung denounced the film as "pure fiction" and "malicious defamation," accusing Hollywood elites of election interference. Directed by Ali Abbassi, the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to an eight-minute standing ovation and stars Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as his former attorney Roy Cohn. The film reportedly portrays Trump unfavorably, which Abbassi defended as necessary to confront rising fascism. Billionaire investor Dan Snyder, who funded the film expecting a positive depiction, was reportedly furious upon seeing a cut in February and attempted to halt its release.
