Trump has claimed the future owner of CBS will provide him with $20 million worth of advertising and programming, following CBS's cancellation of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. He recently reached a $16 million settlement with Paramount over a misleading interview with Kamala Harris. Despite CBS initially deeming the lawsuit meritless, Paramount's sale to Skydance Media is still pending regulatory approval. Trump's assertion has sparked controversy due to his criticism of Colbert, who has openly criticized Trump and referred to the settlement as a bribe.
Trump claimed on Truth Social that the settlement has been paid and he anticipates receiving an additional $20 million from new owners of Paramount.
CBS's decision to cancel The Late Show is likely to exacerbate anger, especially as Colbert had been a vocal critic of Trump.
