Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News, accusing the network of manipulating an interview with Kamala Harris.

Full story

Former President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News on Thursday, Oct. 31, accusing the network of manipulating an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on “60 Minutes.” Trump’s legal team claims the network’s editing misrepresented Harris’ answer in a way that could influence the 2024 election.

The lawsuit alleges that CBS engaged in “deceptive broadcasting conduct,” specifically by using a selectively edited clip of Harris to promote the interview. Trump’s team argues the clip was an attempt to portray Harris in a more favorable light.

According to court filings, the full interview aired with a different response from Harris than what was shown in the promotional clip. That led Trump to claim the edit was a partisan act aimed at deceiving voters.

Trump’s attorneys argue that CBS’ actions amount to unlawful election interference. They claim it misinformed the public and inflicting harm on Trump’s campaign and supporters.

The former president is also requesting a jury trial. He asked the Federal Communications Commission to consider revoking CBS’ broadcast license over what he calls “malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.”

Fox News also faced controversy last month, amid allegations of using similar editing tactics to condense Trump’s answers during a barbershop interview on “Fox & Friends.”

CBS News hasn’t responded to the lawsuit or the allegations.
