“President Trump is taking this action to redress the enormous harm caused to him, his campaign and tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive conduct,” the lawsuit states. “CBS’s biased and unlawful conduct in elections and election interference through malicious, misleading and material misrepresentations of news (were) calculated to confuse, deceive and mislead the public.”

“To cover up Kamala’s weakness for word salad, CBS used its national platform to 60 minutes cross the line from making judgments in reporting to deceitful, misleading manipulation of the news,” it added.

Trump also demanded a jury trial. previously begged The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will revoke the network’s license.
