’60 Minutes’ Pushes Back on Threat of Trump Lawsuit Over Harris Interview
A CBS News attorney pushed back on a threat by Donald Trump to file suit over a '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris
An attorney for CBS News pushed back against the threat of a lawsuit from former President Donald Trump Wednesday, suggesting to his counsel that he might be liable for attorneys’ fees or be subject to counterclaims if he sought to press further into the idea that newsmagazine “ 60 Minutes ” doctored the presentation of its recent interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. “Your letter on behalf of Mr. Trump is based on the faulty premise that 60 MINUTES distorted itsinterview with Vice President Kamala Harris (“the Interview”) in order to present her in apositive light,” said Gayle Sproul, senior vice president for legal affairs in a letter sent to Trump attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik that has been reviewed by Variety. At issue is a segment of the interview made available to the CBS News program “Face The Nation,” which airs Sunday mornings, as a promotional teaser for what would appear later in the week on a special “60 Minutes” broadcast.
