Paramount Pays Trump $16 Million to Settle Lawsuit
Tap title to read story
Paramount Global paid Donald Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over a CBS News "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris. Trump had alleged the interview was manipulated. The settlement, reached after months of negotiations involving numerous influential figures, avoided a potential collapse of Paramount's $8 billion sale to Skydance Media. While Paramount refused to apologize, the payment ensured FCC approval for the sale. The deal included a commitment from Trump to drop further lawsuits and a provision for "60 Minutes" to release transcripts of presidential candidate interviews.
