Trump Claims CBS Settlement “Maybe $35M” Despite Paramount’s Denial Of PSAs & Ads On Top Of $16M Deal


Someone is playing fast and loose with the real numbers, and for once it may not be Donald Trump when it comes to POTUS' recent settlement with CBS

“So, it’s a combination of 16 plus 16 plus,” the White House pool report says POTUS claimed on the way back to DC from a denigrating filled MAGA speech Thursday at the Salute to America Celebration at Des Moines’ Iowa State Fairgrounds. “So, it’s like $32, maybe $35 million,” Trump added of the long expected bow from CBS in response to his original $20 billion suit filed late last yea r over an interview with rival Kamala Harris that ran on 60 Minutes. The publicly acknowledged $16 million check coming from CBS is the same as the deal that Disney reached in December to resolve a Trump defamation lawsui t against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over rape trial results the anchor incorrectly referenced repeatedly in an interview.
