NextImg:BREAKING: Paramount agrees to BIG settlement in Trump’s 60 Minutes lawsuit – The Right Scoop

President Trump has just won his 60 Minutes lawsuit against Paramount. They’ve agreed to a big settlement after he sued them for trying to help Kamala win last year’s election.

Unfortunately for them, they need Trump to approve a big merger, which is why capitulated so quickly and agreed to pay 16 million to his presidential library.

Here’s more from The Hill:

Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News and one of the largest media conglomerates in the United States, has agreed to settle a high-profile lawsuit brought by President Trump over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired last fall.

The settlement comes after months of legal sparring and tension between the two sides, including the forced exit of the network’s president by Paramount brass and threats by Trump to revoke CBS’s broadcast license.

The agreement is worth a reported $16 million and will be paid to the president’s future presidential library and not Trump himself.

As part of the agreement, Paramount said “60 Minutes” will release transcripts of future interviews with eligible U.S. presidential candidates after they air, subject to redactions as required for legal or national security concerns.

The settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret.

Paramount’s decision to pay the president to avoid a trial, an outcome that had been speculated about for weeks, is being widely seen as a major capitulation to Trump’s executive power by one of the largest providers of news, sports and entertainment in the world.

Paramount is currently working to complete a mega merger with fellow Hollywood giant Skydance, a deal worth an estimated $28 billion that will need approval from Trump administration regulators to clear.
