Former Paramount executive Shari Redstone was concerned President Donald Trump's team would seize on unaired footage of a 2023 "60 Minutes" interview with then-President Joe Biden, as she explained why the company settled Trump's lawsuit against CBS News.
Redstone claimed in an interview with the New York Times that some CBS personnel told her in October 2023 that Biden appeared drowsy and had to be prompted to answer questions during an interview with Scott Pelley.
Redstone said she and her son Tyler Korff were worried that CBS would be accused of editing the "60 Minutes" interview to conceal Biden's "failings," as the Times put it, while it battled Trump's accusations of election interference stemming from the show's 2024 interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to the Times report, the Redstone family worried that cherry-picked raw CBS footage and internal communications exposed in discovery would do more damage than the settlement.
The lawsuit was settled last month, with Trump receiving $16 million upfront to cover legal fees, costs of the case and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes.
The settlement sparked an uproar, as many critics thought Paramount was surrendering to expedite its pending merger with Skydance Media, even though the lawsuit was seen as frivolous.
"This case was never as black-and-white as people assumed," Redstone told the Times.
Pelley did say on air at the time that the president seemed tired.

Former Paramount executive Shari Redstone was concerned President Donald Trump’s team would seize on
I thought the right word was “pounce”.
The supposed President of the United States taking naps during interviews..Good God how close we came from getting this country nuked, the whole point of having Biden in “office” was by design, throw him in a closet, from time to time let him exit and give him some drugs to prop him up and in the meantime all of Obama’s goons run this country into the damn ground
bttt
THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “TIRED” & NO LONGER ‘THERE’.
So, her focus was no longer to tell the News.
Her main focus was to cover up for Biden, so the public would not see how unraveled he had become.
Lying scum.
She feared it...and she kept it to herself - the American voting public be damned.
So,! ... guilty of collusion to hide The POTUS’ non-compos mentis condition from the American people.
Bingo.
Thank you!
And let me add; Paramount should be required to sell CBS and barred from owning any media company even resembling a news outlet ever again.
That might go a long way toward encouraging other corporations to run media outlets like actual news organizations.
The fact that they did that speaks volumes about the lack of integrity at CBS. The FCC should pull their license.
The only thing that the Leftist Lapdog Media hates more than the truth, is that the unwashed peasants might learn the truth.
You can’t hate the legacy media enough
The Trump Presidential Library is going to be off the hook.

In other words, former Paramount executive Shari Redstone, settled the lawsuit in order to hide the truth.
That’s some real journalism for you.
