Donald Trump is suing Bill Maher for $5 million, claiming the comedian failed to make good on a public bet.

Last month, Maher told Jay Leno he would give $5 million to Trump's charity of choice if Trump could prove he's not "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan."  As proof of his lineage, Trump sent Maher a copy of his birth certificate which lists Fred Trump as his father.  Now, Trump wants Maher to make good on his promise.

“He promised me $5 million for charity if I provided certain information,” Trump recently told news sources. “Well, I provided the information. He didn’t pay. So today I sue Bill Maher for $5 million for charity.”

The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday.
