Bill Maher and Donald Trump Controversy

In 2013, Maher made headlines for a satirical challenge directed at Donald Trump. During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Maher joked that he would donate $5 million to a charity of Trump’s choice if the former president could prove he was not the "spawn of an orangutan," a parody of Trump's earlier challenge regarding President Obama's birth certificate. Trump submitted a copy of his birth certificate and sued Maher for breach of contract. The lawsuit was short-lived and was dropped after several weeks.
