Former President Trump\u2019s team is preparing to file a lawsuit against the makers of a biopic about his career in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Trump called \u2018The Apprentice\u2019 \u2013 a 2024 film starring Sebastian Stan and directed by Ali Abbasi \u2013 a piece of \u2018garbage\u2019 and \u2018pure fiction.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers. This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked,\u2019 Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
\u2018As with the illegal Biden Trials, this is election interference by Hollywood elites, who know that President Trump will retake the White House and beat their candidate of choice because nothing they have done has worked,\u2019 Cheung said.<\/p>\n
The film centers on Trump\u2019s relationship with Roy Cohn, the McCarthy-era government lawyer who led investigations into suspected communists, portraying Cohn as a mentor for Trump in the hard-knocks world of New York City business and politics.<\/p>\n
It includes a number of salacious and disturbing scenes involving Trump, Ivana Trump and other real-life figures.<\/p>\n
\u2018This \u2018film\u2019 is pure malicious defamation, should not see the light of day, and doesn\u2019t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire,\u2019 Cheung told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
\u2018Everybody talks about him suing a lot of people \u2013 they don\u2019t talk about his success rate though, you know?\u2019 Abbasi told reporters Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n
Abbasi went on to claim he would be willing to privately screen the movie for Trump if the former president was open to it.<\/p>\n
\u2018I would offer to go and meet him wherever he wants and talk about the context of the movie, have a screening and have a chat afterwards, if that\u2019s interesting to anyone at the Trump campaign,\u2019 Abbasi said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
