Paramount's legal settlement of $16 million with Donald Trump is criticized as a capitulation to his demands. The settlement addresses a lawsuit regarding a 2024 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which many experts view as lacking merit. Jim Acosta, who has personal experience with Trump's administration regarding press credentials, condemned the settlement on his program. Acosta expressed concerns regarding the implications of Trump receiving funds for his presidential library, questioning the nature of the future facility and the message such payments send to Trump and his supporters.
Paramount announced Tuesday that they will pay Trump $16 million to settle what most experts consider to be a meritless lawsuit over a 2024 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Acosta has a unique point of view on the issue, having fought and won in court when Trump's White House took away his press credentials, as well as having worked at CBS News early in his career.
Acosta let loose on Trump, Paramount, and other media outlets who have bent the knee to Trump: 'What is that presidential library going to be like?'
They paid millions of dollars to the Trump Presidential Library, which, by the way, has anybody thought this through?
