Donald Trump resigned from a US actors union in typically bombastic fashion after it launched disciplinary action against him.
The former president was accused by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Sag-Aftra) of endangering its members, some of whom are journalists, during the Capitol riots in Washington DC on January 6.
It found “probable cause” that Mr Trump, a showbiz figure long before he entered politics, had violated the union’s constitution.
