In the wake of legal action over a deceptively edited “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris in the 2024 White House race, President Donald Trump on Tuesday said CBS and its parent company Paramount have finally paid a $16 million settlement, with another $20 million on the way.

“Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in settlement,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars.”

The president called it “a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit” against the media giant.

“Just like ABC and George Slopadopoulos, CBS and its Corporate Owners knew that they defrauded the American People, and were desperate to settle.”

“This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit.”
