President Donald Trump has amended his lawsuit against CBS News, increasing the stakes to $20 billion. The lawsuit, which stems from a '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, now includes CBS's parent company, Paramount, as a co-defendant and Representative Ronny Jackson as a co-plaintiff, citing him as an 'injured' consumer in Texas. A federal judge has denied CBS's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, allowing the case to proceed. This decision has intensified scrutiny on CBS and Paramount as the legal battle unfolds.

The judge's ruling has rendered CBS's motion to dismiss moot, facilitating the continuation of the case.
