$10 billion fight is over charges CBS interfered in election
By Bob Unruh
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, recently agreed to pay out $25 million to settle President Donald Trump’s lawsuit over the suspension of his social media a few years back.
The Democrats’ lawfare cases against him mostly have been dropped. Those that reached judgment before the 2024 election are on appeal, including his half billion dollar penalty for fraud, when courtroom testimony confirmed there was no fraud, and the “hush money” case where he was convicted, in front of a highly conflicted judge and by a jury stacked with leftists from Trump-hating Manhattan, of describing legal expenses as legal expenses.
Now reports suggest that talks are under way to give him another legal win.
Fox News reports CBS is in talks to settle his $10 billion election interference lawsuit.

Fox reported the case is over the “60 Minutes” decision to edit and create an answer for Kamala Harris during an interview before the election.
The Fox report explained, “The Wall Street Journal previously suggested Paramount honchos wanted to reach a deal ahead of a merger with Skydance Media.”
Trump lawyer Ed Paltzik said, “President Donald J. Trump is committed to holding those who traffic in deception and fake news accountable. CBS and its parent company Paramount deceived the American People by unlawfully tampering with their interview of Kamala Harris, and then hiding the transcript from the public in an attempt to save the failing, and now failed, Harris campaign, all in desperate commercial pursuit of increased profit and viewership.”
He continued, “Real accountability for CBS and Paramount will ensure that the President is compensated for the harm done to him, and will deter the Fake News from further distorting the facts to advance a partisan agenda. President Trump looks forward to seeing this case through to a just conclusion.”
Trump accused the network of hurting him, and helping Harris, by “deceptive editing.”
Harris was asked on screen why it seemed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the U.S.
What then appeared in the program was not the same as her actual answer.
