Oliver Stone Criticizes 'Lawfare' Against Trump in Cannes Interview

The filmmaker draws parallels between Trump's legal battles and global political corruption while promoting his new documentary on Brazilian President Lula.

Stone argues that corruption charges against Trump and Biden are part of a broader tactic he calls 'lawfare.'
He compares Trump's legal issues to those faced by Lula, who was imprisoned on corruption charges before a political comeback.
Stone suggests the U.S. should reform its political system to reduce corruption, advocating for public funding of campaigns.
The director's new documentary, 'Lula,' premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, highlighting Lula's rise, fall, and return to power.
Stone's comments have sparked debate, given his history of controversial political statements and documentary subjects.
