Trump suffered ‘mental anguish’ from disputed CBS News interview with Harris, lawyer says
Donald Trump’s lawyer says that the president suffered “mental anguish” from CBS News’ editing of an interview last fall with his Democratic election opponent Kamala Harris. That argument was made in court papers opposing Paramount Global’s efforts to get Trump’s $40 billion lawsuit dismissed. Trump has claimed the interview was edited to make Harris look good, a contention that CBS and its parent company Paramount reject. Nevertheless, Paramount and Trump lawyers are engaged in settlement talks, which could lead to some trouble of its own. A press advocacy group that says it is a Paramount shareholder says it will sue if there is a settlement.
