Paramount Global executives have held internal discussions about settling a $10 billion lawsuit filed by Donald Trump against CBS News over an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The lawsuit alleges that CBS News deceptively edited the interview, which aired on '60 Minutes,' to favor Harris's campaign during the 2024 presidential election. The discussions come as Paramount seeks to smooth the path for its planned merger with Skydance Media, which requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The merger's review could be complicated by Trump's dissatisfaction with CBS News, as indicated by incoming FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Paramount executives are considering various concessions to facilitate the merger, including potentially settling the lawsuit with Trump.
