President Donald Trump is now asking for $20 billion from CBS over its "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris last year, which Trump claims was "doctored" to give her an edge before the election.

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.

    The difference is, I’m not the hypocrite that’s here trying to claim a moral high ground while doing the very thing I accuse others of doing. But I’ll have to admit- that’s quite the mining job you did to dig those quotes up. I’m glad you wasted your time reading my comments only to be shown the door.

    Additionally, I can assure you that my dignity remains perfectly intact. I don’t pretend to be anything that I’m not- and I stand by everything I say.

    Oh, and… that little “bLuE mAgA” accusation you all like to list to skirt the civility rules of lemmy is quite possibly the cringiest thing I’ve heard since the “skibidi” bullshit.
