And they put a new answer in. And they paid me a lot of money for that. You can't have fake news. You've gotta have legit news."
"Paramount, the owner of CBS, paid Trump $16 million to settle the lawsuit he filed last year over a 60 Minutes interview with Harris leading into Election Day 2024. The president claimed the interview was selectively edited and constituted election interference, and his lawyers said Trump suffered from mental anguish because of it. CBS, as O'Donnell noted on Sunday, did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement."
President Trump boasted during a 60 Minutes interview that CBS/Paramount paid him millions to settle a lawsuit over the program's editing of a Kamala Harris interview. He claimed the show removed Harris's original answer and inserted a different one two nights before the election, calling the edit election-changing and alleging that it caused him mental anguish. Paramount paid $16 million to resolve the suit, and CBS did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
