YouTube Description
as posted by the channelParamount Global reached a settlement with President Donald Trump over a lawsuit that alleged election interference by the company’s CBS news network when it showed two different versions of a 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in October.
Paramount agreed to pay $16 million, including plaintiff’s fees, according to a statement from the company. What’s left will go to a future presidential library. Trump had sought damages of $20 billion. No money will be paid to him directly.
The settlement doesn’t include an apology. The network has agreed to release transcripts of presidential candidate interviews in the future. Although officially unrelated, the settlement is widely viewed as critical for Paramount to gain approval from federal regulators for its pending merger with Skydance Media.
