EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump is suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the lawsuit filed Thursday.

It was the journalism fail heard around the world. CBS News’ long-running show “60 Minutes” interviewed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in early October—but presented two different versions of her answering a question about Israel. Clearly, one of those answers had to be deceptively edited. Now Donald Trump is taking action—and suing the network for a staggering $10 billion dollars in damages, “stating the network practiced ‘deceptive conduct’ for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris." The lawsuit, filed Thursday, states that the network engaged in election and voter interference:

President Trump on Thursday sued CBS News for $10 billion for deceptively editing its ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris. “President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct,” the lawsuit stated, according to Fox News.

Election Day is just days away and of all the critical issues at stake, there is one that has a fast-approaching deadline to get a handle on: climate change. If emissions aren't drastically reduced by 2035, the U.N. warned last week, global climate disaster will be inevitable — but the impacts of climate change are already being felt in daily life in the U.S. From maternal health and immigration to the cost of food, electricity and insurance, here's how. The economy is top of mind for voters this year, and experts say that climate change has the potential for "significant...

CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell accused former President Donald Trump “and his supporters” of not giving President Joe Biden “grace” over his “garbage” remarks.O’Donnell referred to how Trump rode on a garbage truck to his rally in Wisconsin a day after Biden described Trump voters as being “garbage.”

President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear does not undercut the Vice President Kamala Harris message of “unity,”‘ Gov. Tim Walz (D) indicated Wednesday. Biden’s smear on Tuesday overshadowed Harris’s closing argument that night in which she said she would be a president for “all Americans.” The pledge came just days after she called former President Donald Trump a “fascist.” “I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign,” asked CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil about Democrats long list of demonizing Trump supporters. “No, certainly not,” Walz replied:

CBS: You compared Trump supporters to Nazis. Biden called them "garbage." Hillary called them "deplorables." Doesn't that undercut your fake "unity" message? TIM WALZ: "No, certainly not."

Atlanta – Reva Harvey didn't know Vice President Kamala Harris would be coming to her church on Sunday. But with almost two weeks left until Nov. 5, she thought it was "essential" for her to do so. Harvey, a 53-year-old Black woman whose birthday was one day before Harris', said the vice president's visit to the New Birth Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, could help her find older Black voters and give them "the information that they need."

In the last month of the presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump is doubling down on his promise to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in American history. In Reading, Pennsylvania, last week, Trump drew fervent applause from a rally crowd after saying he would "get these people out" and "deport them so rapidly." In Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, Trump told rallygoers he would "rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered." Immigration researchers, lawyers, and economists have pointed to immense constitutional, humanitarian and economic problems posed by Trump's oft-repeated pledge. But beyond the anticipated damage...

Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false. 60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in...

The Fox News interview with Kamala Harris set a record for the 2024 campaign as the most-watched media appearance to date, drawing a total audience of 7.8 million viewers, outperforming Harris’ appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes (5.7 million viewers), ABC’s The View (3.1 million viewers) and CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Special Report made news itself—both for Harris’ decision to speak to Fox, and for the often contentious questioning by Baier, leading Harris to object to the host’s talking over her when she was trying to answer his question.

Denial is not only a river in Egypt. It is also a seductive expedient for the Democratic Party in the waning days of the 2024 presidential election. You see it everywhere in the official activities of the Democratic campaign. WinBlue donations are soaring! The polls still have Harris ahead! Democracy is on the line! Escaping from the bluster of denial are worrisome little puffs of pandering, always a sure sign that the denial is at best half-believed by the denier. This is not surprising. Denial is the reliable product of desperation: the realisation, however imperfectly acknowledged, that the jig is...

Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson diverted Sunday on questions about possible violence and security concerns ahead of the certification of the presidential election results early next year, citing election integrity as a "greater issue." "There's a lot of great work that's been done at the federal, state and local level to prevent the chaos that ensued after 2020, the COVID election year," Johnson said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Sunday. When asked about protecting security at the Capitol ahead of Congress' counting of the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2025, Johnson made assurances that steps have...

Former CBS News staffers are demanding an independent investigation into “60 Minutes” over the brewing Kamala Harris interview scandal — even as the network digs in its heels and refuses to release the full, unedited transcript, ... The long-running news show has come under fire after cleaning up the Democratic presidential candidate’s answer to a question from “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker about Israel that aired during a special episode on Monday. Her reply was starkly different from the “word salad” the vice president served up in a clip to promote the interview shown by “Face the Nation” the day...

CBS News reportedly instructed its staffers not to refer to Jerusalem as being part of Israel as the network faces mounting internal pressure over its handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Mark Memmott, CBS News’ senior director of standards, sent an email to all CBS News employees in late August with a list of terms to “be careful with” when “we talk or write about the news” pertaining to the war in Gaza, according to a report in the Free Press. “Jerusalem” made the list of contentious terms. “Do not refer to it as being in Israel,” Memmott reportedly wrote... ...instead...

Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone. This is what many Americans will now see. ...

As we previously reported, Kamala Harris did an interview with Bill Whitaker on "60 Minutes' and it was a complete disaster. During the interview, Kamala Harris struggled when asked substantive questions. She notably avoided directly calling Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu an ally, despite the U.S. providing Israel with billions in military aid. Her vague responses did little to clarify her stance, especially when pressed on Netanyahu’s defiance of U.S. calls for a ceasefire. She was no better on domestic issues, Harris faced scrutiny over her economic plans, which could add $3 trillion to the deficit. Her typical talking points about...

Vice President Kamala Harris was roasted on social media for a comment on Israel and how she "can’t make any sense at all" in a new viral clip. Harris gave a rare sit-down interview on CBS’ "60 Minutes" Sunday, where Bill Whitaker asked whether the U.S. has any "sway" over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war against Hamas continues. Monday marks one year since the brutal terrorist attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza. "The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that were just meant to attack...

We at Twitchy spend A LOT of time telling you guys about the media and their ridiculous behaviors, but even we were shocked when we found this post from CBS News. A Yazidi woman kidnapped from her home by ISIS terrorists in Iraq when she was just 11 years old has been reunited with her family after years stranded in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Iraqi and Israeli officials said Thursday. https://t.co/r1jQzHxxO3 — CBS News (@CBSNews) October 3, 2024 SERIOUSLY!??! They chose to say the woman who was KIDNAPPED by ISIS was 'stranded'? STRANDED!?!?! We just have no words to adequately...
