Donald Trump Withdraws $5 Million Bill Maher Suit

That multi-million dollar lawsuit against Bill Maher launched by Donald Trump?

It's over … for now.

In February, POLITICO reported: "Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday in California against liberal comic Bill Maher, suing him for $5 million after Trump says Maher did not follow through on a $5 million public bet he made on 'The Tonight Show.'" The bet concerned Maher's statement that he would pay $5 million to a charity of Trump's choice if the businessman provided a birth certificate proving that he's not "spawn of his mother having sex with orangutan." (It was a play on Trump's demand last year that the president release his birth certificate and college records).
