President Donald Trump It can be on the verge of another legal victory.
In October, Trump filed a demand of $ 10 billion against CBS News alleging the electoral interference on its management of the interview “60 minutes” with Then Vice President Kamala Harrisaccusing the network to help their democratic rival through the deceptive edition.
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Matrix of CBS Paramount Global was considering establishing the demand before a planned fusion that must finally be approved with the new Trump administration.
The New York Times reported Thursday night That “solution discussions between representatives of Paramount and Mr. Trump are now underway,” citing “three people with knowledge of the conversations.”
President Trump and others were not satisfied with the “60 minutes” of CBS News about the controversial edition of his interview with the then Vice President Kamala Harris. “
The Times added that “there is no guarantee” that the conversations will result in an agreement, but “Shari Redstone, the Paramount’s controller, firmly supports the effort to establish.”
“Many executives of the CBS matrix company, Paramount, believe that solving the demand would increase the probabilities that the Trump administration does not block or delay its multimillionaire merger planned with another company, according to several people with knowledge of the matter”, the “reported times .
The Wall Street Journal previously suggested Paramount Honchos wanted to reach an agreement before a merger with Skydance Media.
Ed Paltzik, president of President Trump, said CBS must be responsible.
“President Donald J. Trump undertakes to hold those who traffic in deception and false news. In an attempt to save the failed campaign, and now failed, Harris, all in a desperate commercial search for greater profits and audience, “Paltzik told Fox News Digital.
“The real responsibility for CBS and Paramount will ensure that the president is compensated by the damage made to him, and will deter fake news to further distort the facts to advance in a partisan agenda,” Paltzik continued. “President Trump hopes to see this case until a fair conclusion.”

Trump’s demand focused on an exchange that Harris had with the “60 minutes” correspondent, Bill Whitaker. In a preview clip that was issued in “Face the Nation”, Harris was asked why it seemed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not listening to the United States.
“Well, Bill, the work we have done has resulted in a series of movements in that region by Israel that were very caused by, or a result of many things, including our defense of what should happen in the region,” Harris responded in the clip “Face the Nation.”
Harris was mocked by conservatives to offering a long “word salad” To Whitaker. But when that same question was issued the next night in the special schedule elections, A shorter and more focused answer The vice president followed him.
“We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we are in the need for this war to end,” Harris said in the stellar schedule special.
Critics accused CBS News of editing Harris’s “word salad” response to protect the vice president from a subsequent reaction. Trump’s lawyers argue that news organizations “are responsible for precisely representing the truth of the events, not distorting an interview to try to make their favorite candidate look coherent and decisive, what Kamala certainly is not.”
CBS News and Paramount did not immediately respond to requests for comments from Fox News Digital.

CBS News previously refused to publish the full transcription, citing the first amendment, and rejected the statement that Harris’s interview had “manipulated” to deceive the US people. The network insisted that “the interview was not manipulated” and that the program “did not hide any part of the vice president’s response to the question in question.”
CBS settlement speculation occurs only weeks after ABC News resolved its defamation demand presented by Trump, which gives it $ 15 million and an apology in writing.
