CBS settles with Trump over doctored 60 Minutes Harris interview

CBS will pay Donald Trump more than $30 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2024 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The deal also includes a new rule requiring unedited transcripts of future candidate interviews.
Key Details:
- Trump will receive $16 million immediately to cover legal costs, with remaining funds earmarked for pro-conservative messaging and future causes, including his presidential library.
- CBS agreed to release full, unedited transcripts of all future presidential candidate interviewsāa policy insiders are calling the āTrump Rule.ā
- Trumpās lawsuit accused CBS of deceptively editing a 60 Minutes interview with Harris in 2024 to protect her ahead of the election; the FCC later obtained the full transcript after a complaint was filed.

Diving Deeper:
CBS and Paramount Global have agreed to pay President Donald Trump more than $30 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2024 60 MinutesĀ interviewĀ with thenāVice President Kamala Harris, Fox News DigitalĀ reportedĀ Tuesday. Trump accused the network of election interference, saying CBS selectively edited Harris to shield her from backlash in the final stretch of the campaign.
The settlement includes a $16 million upfront payment to cover legal expenses and other discretionary uses, including funding for Trumpās future presidential library. Additional fundsāexpected to push the total package well above $30 millionāwill support conservative-aligned messaging such as advertisements and public service announcements.
As part of the deal, CBS also agreed to a new editorial policy mandating the public release of full, unedited transcripts of any future interviews with presidential candidates. The internal nickname for the new rule is reportedly the āTrump Rule.ā
Trump initially sought $20 billion in damages, citing a Face the Nation preview that aired Harrisās rambling response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That portion of the interview was widely mocked. A more polished answer was aired separately during a primetime 60 Minutes special, prompting allegations that CBS intentionally split Harrisās answer to minimize political fallout.
The FCC later ordered CBS to release the full transcript and raw footage after a complaint was filed. The materials confirmed that both versions came from the same responseācut in half across different broadcasts.
CBS denied wrongdoing but the fallout rocked the network. 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens resigned in April after losing control over editorial decisions. CBS News President Wendy McMahon also stepped down in May, saying the companyās direction no longer aligned with her own.
Several CBS veterans strongly opposed any settlement. āThe unanimous view at 60 Minutes is that there should be no settlement, and no money paid, because the lawsuit is complete bulls***,ā one producer told Fox News Digital. Correspondent Scott Pelley had warned that settling would be āvery damagingā to the networkās reputation.
The final agreement includes no admission of guilt and no direct personal payment to Trumpābut it locks in a substantial cash payout and forces a new standard for transparency in how networks handle presidential interviews.

Watch As Tucker Carlson And Glenn Greenwald Get A Good Laugh Over CNN Pretending Bidenās Decline Is Breaking News

From theĀ Daily Caller News Foundation
By Hailey Gomez
During a podcast Friday, Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson and independent journalist Glenn Greenwald couldnāt stop laughing over CNNās sudden realization of former President Joe Bidenās mental decline.
CNNās Jake Tapper along with Axiosā Alex Thompson released their book, āOriginal Sin,ā on May 20, whichĀ detailsĀ Bidenās cognitive slide over the last four years ā a concern Republicans hadĀ raisedĀ even before the 2020 election. While appearing on āThe Tucker Carlson Show,ā Carlson joked that Greenwald had been āscoopedā by CNN on Bidenās mental fitness.
āSo you are, I think, the dean of alternative media. Youāve been doing this longer than anybody that I know personally. So it must be a little weird to get scooped by CNN on Joe Bidenās dementia, like you had no idea,ā Carlson said. āNone of us knew.ā
āNone of us knew,ā Greenwald teased. ā There was that debate, and we were all shocked, but we were told he had a cold. So I was like, āOK, heās on some cold medication. Who hasnāt been there before? It makes you a little dragged, a little groggy, a little just like dragged.ā But no, now Jake Tapper has uncovered the truth. It turns out Joe Biden was in cognitive decline.ā
Sources told Tapper and Thompson that Bidenās mental fitness had declined rapidly during his time as president, with his mental state becomingĀ so severeĀ at one point that aides discussed putting him in a wheelchair.
WATCH:
Tapper has faced pushback from both Democrats and Republicans over the timing of his book and the revelations it includes. The CNN host has long defended the former president.
Carlson went on to joke with Greenwald about how he believed Tapper gathered the material for the book.
āJust a hardcore shoe leather investigative reporting,ā Greenwald joked. āHeās working his sources, calling all the people in Washington, digging up FOIA documents.ā
āItās one of those things where you kind of canāt believe what youāre witnessing because Jake Tapper is pretending to have uncovered a scandal that he himself led the way in the media, or one of the leaders in the media, in covering up,ā Greenwald added. āTo the point where if somebody would go on his show and say āJoe Biden is obviously in cognitive decline.ā He would say āHow dare you bully kids who stutter?’ā
Greenwald went on to reference how Tapper hadĀ accusedĀ President Donald Trumpās daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, of āmockingā the former president over his stutter during a 2020 interview.
Despite Lara Trump pointing to what she believed were signs of Bidenās problems, Tapper dismissed her remarks at the time, saying she had āno standing to diagnose somebodyās cognitive decline.ā
In addition to Lara Trump, Tapper also dismissed former Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips during a 2024Ā interviewĀ after Phillips expressed his āconcernsā about Biden running for a second term.
āObviously, he wanted Biden to win desperately and would not tolerate anyone going on the show and saying that Biden was in cognitive decline,ā Greenwald said. āNow heās making millions of dollars off a book.ā
Following the media coverage of Tapperās and Thompsonās book, BidenĀ appearedĀ to tell reporters on Friday he could ābeat the hell out ofā the two journalists.
