It's interesting though: in the film, you hear him say that there doesn't seem to be much dirt on Trump. Of course, that was years ago so that could have changed. I suspect there might not be a lot of backroom crap with Trump to disclose. He's a pretty public sleazebag.
That's surprising. I used to live in NJ. It seemed like EVERYONE had a story about how Trump ripped them off or flew his helicopter recklessly. I don't know how verifiable the stories were but you sure heard them a lot living in NJ in the 90's.

"...Poitras made significant changes in the film over the past year (since a screening at the 2016 Cannes film festival). According to various accounts, it was “a much more straightforward, positive portrayal of WikiLeaks and Assange,” an “activist documentary” that made “an overwhelming case for Assange as a political prisoner.”
But this was prior to the exposure of the Democratic Party’s corrupt inner workings by WikiLeaks and claims that the Russians were involved, supposedly to aid Donald Trump. As Slate notes, “Subsequently, Poitras spent months revising her film for release this Friday.”
These facts alone should alert the reader to much of what he or she needs to know. Poitras has accommodated herself in part to the hysteria, driven by the Democratic Party hierarchy, over alleged Russian interference in the US elections.
That would be bad enough, but in addition and connected to that, the filmmaker has essentially bowed to the pressure of the incessant and reactionary claims that Assange is a “sexual predator.” "
et cetera
It would obviously be fascinating to get a copy of the Cannes cut. I wonder if it will see the light of day (my guess is not, but who knows)
Not that i really care on a deep level about Russia-Trump machinations. In the end it is just another powerful leader playing power games.
I would love to see what Assange has on Trump. I expect he will release it when it is most damaging. That seems to be what he does.
