CBS Faces FCC Probe and Trump Lawsuit Over Kamala Harris '60 Minutes' Interview

The network submits unedited footage to the FCC while Paramount considers settling Trump's $10 billion lawsuit alleging deceptive editing.

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.
