Trump's $20 Billion Lawsuit Against CBS Escalates With Discovery Threats

CBS plans to request Trump's personal and campaign financial details if the case over a '60 Minutes' interview moves forward.

Donald Trump has sued CBS for $20 billion, alleging deceptive editing of a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris violated consumer protection laws.
CBS denies wrongdoing, citing First Amendment protections for editorial decisions, and has publicly released the full interview transcripts and footage.
The network has signaled it will seek Trump's financial records, including those of his 2024 campaign and media ventures, if the lawsuit advances to discovery.
Trump's legal team claims the edits were intended to unfairly benefit Harris and compete with his media companies, while CBS argues the claims lack legal standing.
The case's venue and potential arbitration remain contentious, with CBS challenging its location in Texas and exploring arbitration clauses tied to its services.
