Paramount Could Settle in “60 Minutes” Lawsuit as Major Networks Bow to Trump

CBS’s parent company Paramount Global is in settlement talks with Trump’s legal team, which is suing the network for $10 billion under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Trump’s lawsuit accuses CBS of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris last year. The New York Times reports controlling shareholder Shari Redstone is pushing for a deal with Trump, and Paramount executives reportedly believe settling the lawsuit would increase their odds of securing a planned $8 billion merger with Skydance Media.
