As CBS' parent company considers settlement of President Donald Trump's lawsuit against “60 Minutes,” America’s storied newsmagazine is pulling no punches in its coverage of the new administration
"60 Minutes" continues its critical coverage of the Trump administration despite a $20 billion lawsuit from Trump alleging election interference in its editing of a Kamala Harris interview. CBS' parent company is reportedly considering a settlement, similar to Disney's agreement in a lawsuit with ABC News, but CBS News is resisting, claiming no wrongdoing. Trump's suit and a related FCC probe accuse "60 Minutes" of manipulating Harris' remarks on Israel, which CBS denies. While some see the show's recent reporting as a defiant response to the lawsuit, others argue the stories are driven by journalistic merit.
