Paramount, Trump in ‘advanced' discussions to settle $20 billion lawsuit
A settlement appears close in President Donald Trump's lawsuit against CBS parent company Paramount, which he sued in October 2024 over a complaint about the editing of a '60 Minutes' interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
The parties began mediation in April, though it had not been clear whether they were nearing a resolution to the case. Trump had filed the lawsuit for $20 billion, alleging that CBS had aided Harris's bid for president by editing an answer she gave to a question asked by correspondent Bill Whitaker about Israel in an effort to make her sound better and 'sabotage' Trump's campaign.
