Wendy McMahon has announced her resignation as CBS News president and CEO, reflecting internal challenges regarding the organization's future amid legal pressure from the Trump administration. Her departure coincides with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed by Trump, alleging bias over a "60 Minutes" interview edit. While the lawsuit is seen as lacking merit by legal experts, CBS considers settling as it navigates regulatory scrutiny and corporate policy changes. McMahon, known for supporting the integrity of CBS's journalism, emphasized internal conflicts led to her decision to step down, leaving a leadership void at the network.
It's become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. It's time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership.
Though many legal experts have called the lawsuit meritless, Paramount is considering settling. The company is currently waiting for the FCC to approve its merger with Skydance Media.
