Paramount to pay Trump $16m to settle 60 Minutes lawsuit
Paramount Global agrees to pay Trump $16 million to settle lawsuit over 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, avoiding trial in legal dispute. The settlement does not include an apology, with the funds designated for Trump's future presidential library instead of being paid directly to him. The case revolved around allegations of deceptive editing in the CBS interview, marking the latest concession by a media company to the president known for targeting outlets over perceived biased coverage.
