Summary
Donald Trump amended his lawsuit against CBS, now alleging that a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris unfairly diverted viewers from his Truth Social platform.
He claims CBS’ edits misled the public, boosting Harris while harming his media business, and seeks $20 billion in damages. CBS argues its edits were standard and protected by the First Amendment.
Legal experts view the case as weak, but it coincides with Paramount Global’s regulatory review, leading to reported settlement talks.
The FCC has also opened an inquiry into CBS’ editing decisions.
he wasn’t president at the time of the ‘offense’. just a private citizen. the suit was filed when he was a private citizen as well.
whining about it now in an amended (that status or when it was is irrelevant) private civil suit (trump v cbs/paramount) is not an official duty, not even remotely adjacent to one, of the office of president of the united states of america.
that bullshit immunity ruling from his handpicked scotus does not shield him. well, it shouldn’t, anyway–they’d have to broaden it to basically crown him king.
