Overview

  • Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS, claiming the editing of Kamala Harris' '60 Minutes' interview constituted election interference and deceptive news practices.
  • CBS has filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the First Amendment protects its editorial decisions and that the lawsuit lacks legal standing.
  • The lawsuit was filed in Texas, but CBS contends the case should be dismissed or moved to New York, as the claims have no connection to Texas jurisdiction.
  • CBS maintains that Harris' responses were edited for time constraints, not altered maliciously, and denies any wrongdoing in its broadcast practices.
  • Legal experts have widely criticized the lawsuit as frivolous, with CBS pointing out that Trump's election victory renders claims of interference moot.
