Morgan Freeman has criticised President Donald Trump during a live television interview, calling him a "convicted felon" who is "leading us down a s***hole."
The Oscar-winning actor, 88, made the remarks while appearing on The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell on MS NOW to promote his new Prime Video historical drama The Gray House.
Freeman expressed bewilderment that a man convicted of 34 felonies could hold the highest office, referencing the 2024 hush money case in which a New York jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to conceal a conspiracy to influence the 2016 election.
In response to those who defend Trump's eligibility, Freeman said: "I don't care! That ruling went down before he stepped into the Oval Office. It just doesn't make sense to me."
Earlier in the day, on CBS Mornings, Freeman also addressed the rise of artificial intelligence, stating he has lawyers to protect his likeness and voice, and recalled a paid arrangement with a British insurance company.
