President Trump's legal team filed an objection to Paramount Global's move to dismiss his $20 billion lawsuit against CBS over a '60 Minutes' segment.
President Trump’s legal team filed an objection to Paramount Global ‘s move to dismiss his $20 billion lawsuit against CBS over a “ 60 Minutes ” segment, arguing that the TV newsmagazine’s alleged deceptive editing of an interview with Kamala Harris is not protected by the First Amendment. In a March 2025 motion to dismiss Trump’s suit, Paramount called the legal action “an affront to the First Amendment” that is “without basis in law or fact.” CBS News has maintained that the “60 Minutes” broadcast and promotion of the Harris interview was “not doctored or deceitful.” According to the filing, the “60 Minutes” editing of the Harris interview “led to widespread confusion and mental anguish of consumers, including Plaintiffs, regarding a household name of the legacy media apparently deceptively distorting its broadcasts, and then resisting attempts to clear the public record.”
