“With this record, President Donald J. Trump brings another victory for the American people, because he once again attracts fake media for responsibility for his violations and deceit. CBS and Paramount Global have realized the power of this historical business and had no choice. To make America great again, “” to cope “to” Spexels “to lay out the legal team” Fox “.
Last year, Trump sought $ 20 billion in the trial against CBS for “60 minutes” interviewing with the then-President President Kamala Harris, accusing the election network leading to the 2024 competition. CBS does not recognize any journalistic violations with the settlement.
“The settlement will include the issue of all claims regarding any CBS reports through the settlement date, including Texas and the actions of slander,” the Paramount parent company said.

Harris was widely made For the answer “Salad with the Word”, which aired in the pre -viewing interview on “CBS” will face the nation.
However, when the same question came on the air during a special Print on the net, Harris had a different, more brief answer. Critics at the time accused CBS News of the deceitful editing of Harris salad to protect the democratic nominee from the further retreat leading to the election day.
The raw transcript and footage released earlier this year by the FCC showed that both Harris comments kits came from the same response, but CBS News came out only in the first half of her response in the previous video “Face The Nation” and came out in the second half during a special Prime.
CBS News has long denied any violations and stood in the broadcast and its reporting.
President Trump has filed a $ 20 billion lawsuit against CBS News, claiming the intervention for electoral interaction, taking into account the “60 -minute” interview with Kamal Vice President Harris, accusing his democratic competitor through deceptive editing.

“This lawsuit is completely separated from the parachute and the FCC approval process. We will comply with the legal process to protect our case,” Paramount said in a previous statement of parachute transactions.

Kamala Harris, during the early voting, and immediately before the election was asked, and gave the answer that it was so bad and incompetent that it would cost her,” To bring the news that would punch when we are over.
Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., And eight democratic colleagues sent a letter to Redstone in May asking not to settle a claim against CBS News, which they called “an attack on the first amendment.” They called the potential settlement “a serious mistake” and “brazen attempt to intimidate the media and those who oppose it, President Trump.”
