Trump's Legal Team Targets 'The Apprentice' Film with Cease and Desist

The Donald Trump biopic "The Apprentice" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to an eight-minute standing ovation but has sparked controversy, including a cease and desist letter from Trump's legal team accusing the filmmakers of defamation and election interference. Directed by Ali Abbasi and starring Sebastian Stan, the film portrays Trump's rise in the 1970s and '80s New York real estate scene. Critics are divided, and the film includes a controversial rape scene. Trump's team plans to sue, while the filmmakers defend the movie as a fair portrayal. The film currently lacks a U.S. distribution deal but has been sold for release in the UK and Ireland.
