Paramount and CBS Stand Firm in Lawsuit Over Trump’s “60 Minutes” Interview

Paramount Global and President Trump are currently in talks to potentially settle a lawsuit regarding the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. Despite this, Paramount and CBS have filed a response reaffirming their stance that the interview is protected by the First Amendment. They argue that Trump’s legal team has failed to provide any evidence to the contrary, labeling the lawsuit as meritless.

Trump’s lawsuit against CBS was filed just days before the 2024 presidential election. He alleges that the interview violated a Texas consumer protection law by misleading voters and causing personal financial harm. In response, CBS added that public officials like Trump cannot hold news organizations liable for editorial judgment, citing First Amendment principles.

A key point in Trump’s argument is that the edited interview represents commercial speech, which CBS denies. The network states that the interview involves issues of public concern and is protected editorial speech. CBS also argues that the lawsuit does not belong in federal court in Texas, as the interview was filmed and produced in Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Both parties are currently engaged in settlement discussions, with Paramount offering $15 million to resolve the lawsuit. However, Trump’s team is seeking at least $25 million and an apology from CBS. Shari Redstone, the controlling shareholder of Paramount Global, supports the company’s efforts to mediate the dispute.

The lawsuit centers on an exchange in which “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker questioned Harris about the Biden administration’s relations with Netanyahu. CBS released an unedited transcript of the interview in response to an FCC request, maintaining that the broadcast was not doctored or deceitful.
