Summary
Donald Trump has amended his lawsuit against CBS, doubling the damages sought to $20 billion.
He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.
He claims CBS deceptively edited Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview to make her appear more coherent, allegedly influencing the 2024 election and harming his Truth Social platform.
Filed in Texas, the suit alleges violations of the Lanham Act and Texas consumer protection laws.
CBS argues that the Lanham Act and Texas statute only govern commercial speech, not political or editorial speech, and has moved to dismiss the lawsuit.
And it’s been a joke the whole time. The only difference now is no one’s been this blatant with their abuse of the judicial system
The fascists have gotten so much mileage out of exploiting problems in our government that everyone has known about for decades but that nobody ever bothered to fix.
Well someone has to look dignified and stately as Rome burns!
