Overview

• CBS News has complied with an FCC request by submitting unedited footage and transcripts of a Kamala Harris interview on '60 Minutes' following allegations of deceptive editing.
• President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS, claiming the edits misrepresented Harris to influence the 2024 election, though legal experts view the case as weak.
• FCC Chair Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump, reopened the investigation into potential 'news distortion,' while a Democratic commissioner criticized the inquiry as politically motivated.
• Paramount Global, CBS's parent company, is reportedly considering settling the lawsuit to avoid jeopardizing its pending merger with Skydance Media, a move opposed by CBS News leadership.
• Bill Owens, executive producer of '60 Minutes,' has refused to apologize for the segment, asserting the edits were standard practice for clarity and time constraints.
