An attorney for Donald Trump sent a cease-and-desist letter Friday to filmmakers behind a new biopic of the former president, entitled The Apprentice — claiming defamation and illegal election interference.

According to a letter acquired by the Washington Post and the Hill, Trump’s team is asking for the filmmakers to cease and desist from “all marketing, distribution, and publication” of the movie. Much of the three-page letter attacked people involved in the movie for their past comments about Trump — and threatened further legal actions against the film. 

“The Movie presents itself as a factual biography of Mr. Trump, yet nothing could be further from the truth,” Trump attorney David A. Warrington wrote in the letter. “It is a concoction of lies that repeatedly defames President Trump and constitutes direct foreign interference in America’s elections.”

The biopic, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, features Sebastian Stan as the former president and details Trump’s claim to fame as a New York real estate mogul in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The movie is also a dark portrayal of the former president, showcasing graphic scenes of Trump undergoing plastic surgery and sexually assaulting his former wife Ivana Trump — based on testimony from her 1990 divorce deposition.

In a statement provided to Variety, who first reported the news, the film producers called the film “a fair and balanced portrait of the former president.” 

A Trump campaign spokesperson had previously threatened to sue the filmmakers over the movie, calling it “pure malicious defamation” that “doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store.”
