Former President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News, alleging deceptive editing of a '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, which he claims skewed public perception ahead of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of Texas, accuses CBS of selectively editing Harris’s responses to questions about the Israel-Hamas conflict to present her in a favorable light, thereby interfering with the election. CBS has dismissed these claims as 'completely without merit,' stating that the interview was edited solely for time constraints and not to mislead viewers. Trump's legal team argues that the edits concealed what they describe as Harris’s 'word salad' response, which would have exposed weaknesses in her answers. The case will be heard by a judge appointed by Trump, fueling criticism of 'judge-shopping' practices. Despite the lawsuit's focus on alleged election interference, legal experts note the high bar set by the First Amendment for such claims against media outlets.
