Trump Lawyers Confirm They Are in ‘Active Settlement Discussions’ With Paramount Over President’s ‘60 Minutes’ Lawsuit
Lawyers for Trump confirmed they are in '"'active settlement discussions, including continued mediation.""The Parties are not seeking to extend any deadlines regarding the pending motions to dismiss, and Defendants intend to file their reply on or before June 23, 2025," the filing said.
Attorneys representing President Trump in his $20 billion lawsuit against CBS over the allegedly deceptive editing of a “ 60 Minutes ” segment have requested an extension of court deadlines, citing the fact that the parties “are engaged in active settlement discussions.” In addition, Trump’s lawyers “threatened another lawsuit” against CBS over its news coverage amid the settlement talks, according to the WSJ report. In Paramount’s March 2025 motion to dismiss Trump’s suit, the company 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.”
