CBS attorneys have labeled President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the network as groundless, even as they proposed a $15 million settlement to resolve the matter. The lawsuit claims election interference tied to how CBS edited its interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris before the presidential election.
Trump, seeking $20 billion from CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, argues that the network’s editing harmed his reputation during a crucial period. A source close to Trump conveyed that CBS finds itself in a tight spot and is keen to avoid trial.
Recently, Trump rejected Paramount’s $15 million settlement offer, insisting on a more significant payout and an apology. The ongoing mediation attempts have not stopped CBS lawyers from denouncing the lawsuit as baseless.
In a response to Trump’s request to deny CBS’ motion for dismissal, the network’s legal team asserted that the lawsuit lacks merit. They contend that Trump’s action represents an attempt to penalize a news organization for editorial choices he disagrees with, urging the court to dismiss his amended complaint.
According to CBS attorneys, the lawsuit represents an unwarranted attack on First Amendment rights, emphasizing that it should be dismissed promptly.
Fox News Digital confirmed that Trump’s rejection of the settlement offer indicates his commitment to hold
