lawsuit by President Donald Trump over the editing of CBS' "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in October. Paramount, which owns CBS, said the money will go to Trump's future presidential library, not to the Republican president himself. It said the settlement did not involve an apology. Trump's lawyer said Trump had suffered "mental anguish" over the editing of the interview by CBS News, while Paramount and CBS rejected his contention that it was edited to enhance how Harris, the Democratic nominee for president in 2024, sounded. They had called Trump's case "completely without merit" and tried to have it dismissed, even while involved in settlement negotiations.

The case was widely discussed and was being seen as a referendum on how far organizations would go to curry favour with Trump. Paramount is simultaneously seeking approval from his administration for its proposed merger with Skydance Media. A spokesman for Trump's legal team said that with the settlement, Trump "delivers another win for the American people." (Jamaica Gleaner)
