Trump threatens New York Times for ‘unlawful’ reporting on his CBS lawsuit
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump indicated he may pursue legal measures in response to The New York Times' coverage of his $10 billion lawsuit against CBS.
- Trump's lawsuit alleges that 60 Minutes deceptively edited a Kamala Harris interview before the 2024 election, and he criticized the Times for citing legal experts who called the suit baseless.
- The New York Times pushed back, stating it will not be deterred by intimidation and will continue to protect journalists' First Amendment rights on behalf of the American public.
- Legal experts have widely dismissed Trump's lawsuit as baseless and likely to fail, while mediation talks have begun between Trump's legal team and Paramount Global, which is eager to settle.
- Trump's legal threats against multiple media outlets form part of a broader campaign to challenge media reporting, but the law protects a free press that favors an informed public.
