U.S. President Donald Trump and Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARAA) are entering mediation over Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS News, according to a New York Times (NYSE:NYT) report. The dispute centers on a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election.
Sources told the NYT that both parties have recently agreed on a mediator, aiming to reach a settlement. Trump alleges that CBS’s 60 Minutes segment from October was deceptively edited, misrepresenting Harris’s comments and damaging his campaign during the heated election race.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses CBS News of manipulating the interview in a way that misled viewers and harmed Trump’s public image. Trump’s legal team argues that the edits unfairly favored Harris and suppressed key parts of the conversation that would have portrayed her in a less favorable light.
CBS News, a division of Paramount Global, has defended its editorial decisions, stating that the program’s content is protected under the First Amendment, which grants freedom of the press. The media outlet maintains that it upheld journalistic standards and did not mislead the public.
The mediation talks come as Paramount prepares for a potential merger with Skydance Entertainment, increasing pressure to resolve the legal battle swiftly. Industry insiders suggest that a settlement could help clear the path for the upcoming deal and minimize negative publicity.
While no resolution has been reached yet, the move to mediation indicates that both Trump and CBS may be willing to negotiate rather than prolong a high-stakes legal fight. The outcome could have broader implications for media accountability and political campaign coverage in the digital age.
