Paramount Global and Trump began mediation Wednesday over his lawsuit against CBS News, according to The Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit seeks $20 billion in damages for allegedly deceptive editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. Paramount insiders have discussed settling for $15 million to $20 million, but Trump’s team is expected to demand far more, including an apology. Trump attacked CBS and Paramount on Truth Social, accusing them of defrauding the public. CBS has denied wrongdoing, stating the broadcast was neither doctored nor deceitful.
