Trump claims falsifications

President Trump said his $ 20 billion lawsuit against Paramount Global and CBS, who claims that “60 minutes” was deceptively an interview with the then VP Kamala Harris, was “a real winner”. He claimed that Paramount, CBS and “60 minutes” had admitted to this crime, although Paramount and CBS argued on this matter that they did not go wrong on this matter – and described Trump's lawsuit as “Affront to the first change”.

Trump's comments came as the President's lawyers and the legal team of Paramount Global to start mediation on Wednesday to determine a potential solution for the lawsuit. The board of Paramount outlined “Acceptable financial conditions for a potential agreement with the President” at a meeting on April 18, according to a report by the New York Times, which did not contain any details of the dollar amount for which the company allegedly determined.

Trump sued CBS a few days before the presidential election in November 2024 and claimed that the “60 -minute report” of CBS News violated a Texas Consumer Protection Act by dealing deceptively with an interview with Harris and thereby affecting the presidential election. At the beginning of this year, the president expanded the lawsuit, claiming an additional claim according to the Federal Lanham Act and was looking for at least 20 billion US dollars in damages.

“The case we have around 60 minutes, CBS and Paramount is a real winner. They cheated and cheated on the American people on levels in the political arena,” Trump wrote in a post on Wednesday morning on the social social media platform on Wednesday morning. “Kamala Harris was asked during the early vote and immediately before the election day and gave an answer that was so bad and incompetent that she had cost many of the voices that she finally received. On a completely different question. [sic]. “”

In the post office, Trump suggested that the New York Times – because she reported that “legal experts have described the lawsuit as unfounded and a simple victory for CBS”, “possibly” for unauthorized interventions, including the elections that we could study attentively “.

“Despite all the above and the admission of this crime of Paramount/CBS/60 minutes and with other similar corrupt moving of answers to questions, the failing New York Times, which are fake news both when writing and in the survey, claims” people “said that the case was unfounded, wrote the president. “They do not mean that they only have a non -curable case of Trump's disease syndrome, possibly to the point at which the interjection of times are liable for unauthorized interventions, including the elections that we study intensively.”

Trump concluded his position with the claim: “The conclusion is that 60 minutes and his company owners are one of the most outrageous illegalities in broadcasting history. Nothing of the like, the illegal creation of an answer for a presidential candidate who has ever been done before that they have to pay a price for this, and the times should also be responsible.

A global representative of Paramount rejected a statement.

In March Paramount applied for Trump's lawsuit and submitted two applications to dismiss the case (one for a lack of responsibility and the other because consumer fraud laws do not regulate any editorial speech). “If the first change means something, this means that civil servants and plaintiffs do not adhere to news organizations such as CBS for the simple exercise of the editorial judgment,” the paramount application said. “Whether the plaintiffs believe that the entire unprocessed interview have broadcast or only edited as they approve it, they have no claim after the first change to only demand news that meets their wishes.”
