Trump Sues CBS for $10B Over Interview Edits

Former President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News over what he claims was a deceptively edited '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump alleges that the network's editing misled the public and constituted election interference to favor Harris in the 2024 presidential election. The lawsuit was strategically filed in the Northern District of Texas to be overseen by Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee known for conservative rulings. Legal experts and CBS have dismissed the allegations as frivolous and meritless, with CBS affirming that the interview was fairly presented. The lawsuit is perceived as a continuation of Trump's pattern of litigating against media outlets he accuses of bias against him. This legal challenge occurs amidst broader accusations of media bias influencing public opinion during the election period.
