Donald Trump Threatens to Sue Bill Maher [View all]

Donald Trump tells Extra he will sue comedian Bill Maher if he doesn't pay up on a bet.

Maher told Jay Leno earlier this week he would offer to donate $5 million to the charity of Trump's choice if the New York businessman would release his own birth certificate to prove he was not the "spawn of his mother having sex with orangutan."

Trump says his lawyer provided the proof and now wants the $5 million.
