CBS Reiterates Claim That Trump’s ‘60 Minutes’ Lawsuit Is ‘Meritless,’ Refutes President’s Assertion Edited Interview Was ‘Commercial Speech’
CBS filed a response reaffirming its position that a '60 Minutes' interview is protected by the First Amendment and that Trump's legal team has failed to argue otherwise.
CBS continued in the filing, “Accepting Plaintiffs’ standing arguments would amount to greenlighting thousands of consumer claims brought by individuals who merely disagree with a news organizations’ editorial choices. In a separate filing Monday, CBS reiterated its position that the lawsuit — about an interview filmed in Washington, D.C., and broadcast from New York City — “does not belong in federal court in Texas.” And they do not dispute that the people most knowledgeable about the Interview all worked in New York or Washington D.C. President Trump and Representative Jackson do not even allege that they watched the FTN or 60 Minutes Broadcasts from Texas when they aired.
