Trump’s lawyers believe the editing was conducted to “try to draw conclusions by trying to prompt the Democrats in the 2024 presidential election (led by President Trump).
“CBS’ partisan and illegal elections are held for and voters intervene through malicious, deceptive and substantial news distortions to confuse, deceive and mislead the public,” the lawsuit reads.
Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, is reportedly considering resolving the lawsuit before a planned merger with Skydance Media in a bid to prevent potential retribution from Trump’s FCC, which has the right to stop a multi-billion dollar deal. Paramount’s controlling shareholder Shari Redstone reportedly facilitated settlement with the president.
