Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump concerning edits made to a CBS '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris. The settlement funds will go towards Trump's future presidential library. Trump claimed his mental anguish resulted from CBS's editing, which he believed misrepresented Harris's responses. Paramount and CBS rejected these claims. As part of the settlement, '60 Minutes' will provide transcripts of future presidential candidate interviews, subject to necessary legal and national security redactions.
Trump's lawyer claimed the editing of the interview caused 'mental anguish' and misled voters, while CBS and Paramount dismissed these allegations as meritless.
Under the settlement, Paramount agreed that '60 Minutes' will release transcripts of future interviews with presidential candidates, with some legal and national security redactions.
CBS News lawyers characterized Trump's lawsuit as 'completely without merit' and were prepared to contest it vigorously after it was filed.
The $16 million from Paramount will be directed to Trump's future presidential library and not to him personally, with no apologies involved in the settlement.
