Summary
CBS has moved to dismiss Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, calling it an attack on the First Amendment.
Trump alleges CBS edited the interview to harm him politically, citing “voter interference.” CBS attorneys argue the lawsuit seeks to punish “constitutionally protected editorial judgments” and is “without basis in law or fact.”
If not dismissed, CBS wants it moved to New York, where its headquarters is located.
The move comes as a surprise because CBS had considered settling to avoid delaying its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires regulatory approval.
‘comes out swinging’ is any reaction thats not paying the legalized bribe that is the demanded settlement when trump files a bullshit lawsuit against you, so you can pay him to keep access.
It’s not about being legal or not. They do illegal shit all the time
