CBS’ parent company, Paramount Global, and President Donald Trump are set to begin mediation in his $20 billion election interference lawsuit, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
Trump is seeking $20 billion in a lawsuit against CBS, alleging election interference over its handling of a "60 Minutes" interview last year with Vice President Kamala Harris.
The president has accused CBS of aiding his 2024 Democratic opponent through deceptive editing one month before they faced off in the presidential election. The saga began when Harris was widely mocked for a "word salad" answer she gave to "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker during a preview of the interview on "Face the Nation," and CBS then aired a different answer to the same question during a primetime special.

CBS and Paramount committed the worst kind of election interference and fraud in the closing days of the most important presidential election in history. President Trump will pursue this vital matter to its just and rightful conclusion," Ed Paltzik, attorney for President Trump, told Fox News Digital.
CBS and Paramount Global did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

C, BS can get your @ss sued sometimes.
i would like to see CBS turned into
RAV.
.Take the whole thing , fire all the progs, turn it over to
Real Americas Voice
give Natalie Winters her own hour.
What’s the worst they can do to them with no settlement? Money means nothing here.
Company worth 8 billion and falling and wants to be merged with another company . I would say 1 billion ought to do it.
That library is getting more beautiful by the lawsuit
Trump should demand Star Trek. They should be sued over wrecking that franchise.
got the fingers crossed!!
Obviously not enough though.
Kamala showed it was impossible to pick her up by a clean end... so, CBS lawyers use as a defense, “She didn’t stand a chance in ... “ thereby concluding this particular chapter in the ongoing 2024 democrat Humiliation Ritual games.
May the odds be ever in your favor heh
$40 billion and make them live broadcast the hangings, including some of their own.
Maybe just sign over the company to Trump, if it’s only worth 8 billion.
They know best but i cannot imagine finding a mediator l would trust for Trump’s side.
What’s the frequency, Dan?
And a kiss on the rump.
Mediation isn’t binding.
I have seen the 8 billion value mentioned in several places, if true, Elon who paid 44 billion for twitter( 8 billion vs 44 billion has to make swelled heads at CBS explode), ELON should just buy CBS, but would only offer 4 billion. Elon keeps that much in his wallet😂
