Mediator In Trump’s CBS Lawsuit Proposes $20 Million Settlement – Report


The mediator in President Donald Trump's lawsuit against CBS and '60 Minutes' has proposed a settlement worth $20 million, according to a WSJ report.

The suit and settlement talks have unfolded with a proposed sale of Paramount Global to Skydance Media under review by the FCC, which is led by Trump appointee and loyalist Brendan Carr. Senators, California lawmakers and public interest groups have threatened to sue Paramount under anti-bribery statutes if the company agrees to settle and controlling shareholder Shari Redstone is concerned about potential legal liability. Par recently brought in law firm Gibson Dunn to assess whether it could offer more than $15 million without putting its directors and top executives at risk of future litigation or criminal charges.
