President Donald Trump celebrated a victory in a Truth Social post Tuesday afternoon, regarding his lawsuit against CBS News.
Earlier this month, Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, agreed to a $16 million settlement deal. The New York Times had reported:
Paramount said late Tuesday that it had agreed to pay President Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes,” an extraordinary concession to a sitting president by a major media organization.
Paramount said its payment included Mr. Trump’s legal fees and costs and that the money, minus the legal fees, would be paid to Mr. Trump’s future presidential library.
As part of the settlement, Paramount said, it agreed to release written transcripts of future “60 Minutes” interviews with presidential candidates. The company said the settlement did not include an apology.
In his post on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon, Trump announced that Paramount has paid the $16 million, and said there is more to come. He wrote:
BREAKING NEWS! We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount. Just like ABC and George Slopadopoulos, CBS and its Corporate Owners knew that they defrauded the American People, and were desperate to settle. Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars.
This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit. The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American People are OVER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
