Trump Calls for FCC Sanctions Against CBS Over '60 Minutes' Coverage

The president demands maximum fines and license revocation for CBS, citing critical segments on Ukraine and Greenland, as well as an ongoing $20 billion lawsuit over alleged election interference.

President Trump has escalated his attacks on CBS and '60 Minutes,' urging FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to impose maximum fines and revoke the network's license for what he calls 'unlawful and illegal behavior.'
Trump's criticism focuses on recent '60 Minutes' segments on Ukraine and Greenland, which he claims falsely and negatively portray his administration and policies.
The president continues to pursue a $20 billion lawsuit against CBS and Paramount, alleging that a 2024 interview with Kamala Harris was deceptively edited to influence the presidential election.
The FCC has launched an investigation into the Harris interview, but its scope is limited by First Amendment protections, with CBS defending its editorial practices as standard journalistic procedure.
Settlement talks are reportedly ongoing between Trump's legal team and CBS's parent company, Paramount, as the company seeks regulatory approval for a merger with Skydance Media.
