Former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who ran twice for the Republican presidential nomination and was the Libertaian presidential candidate in 1988, attacked Fifth Estate, the new film looking at Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

Last week marked the release of 'Fifth Estate' -- Hollywood's attempt to profit off of Julian Assange and his work with WikiLeaks," Paul wrote supporters on Tuesday.

"It is based on a deceitful book by someone who has a vendetta against me and my organisation," Assange said about the film.

Assange was interviewed by Paul on the Ron Paul Channel on the film and other matters.
