US EditionParamount agrees to pay $16 million to settle Trump CBS ‘60 Minutes' lawsuit
- On July 2, 2025, Paramount Global agreed to pay $16 million to settle President Trump's lawsuit over edits made to a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris.
- The lawsuit stemmed from Trump's claim that CBS deceptively edited Harris' answer, which he called 'horrendous' and election-threatening, to boost her chances in November 2024.
- CBS acknowledged editing the interview as routine and faced FCC scrutiny, with Chairman Carr ordering release of raw footage confirming the network's account amid a news distortion inquiry.
- The settlement includes a release of all claims against CBS reporting, with Paramount stating no money will go directly to Trump, allocating funds to his future presidential library, and promising transcript transparency.
- Paramount chose to settle to avoid costly litigation and ease FCC approval of its $8 billion Skydance sale, though the decision sparked criticism for ceding First Amendment ground and prompted executive departures.
