Donald Trump is trying to control the news cycle by suing CBS over Kamala Harris’ 60 Minutes interview.

Donald Trump is trying to control the news cycle by suing CBS over Kamala Harris’ 60 Minutes interview.

At the end of the presidential campaign Donald Trump sued CBS along the path that 60 minutes edited interview with Kamala Harris.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas, seeks $10 billion in damages and is just the latest lawsuit Trump has filed against a media outlet that airs or publishes content he doesn’t like.

lawsuit claims the chain violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which generally targets false advertising.

Trump has been threatening to sue CBS since the company aired an interview with Harris as part of its election special on Oct. 7. Trump initially agreed to be interviewed for the special but then backed out, according to the network.

During Harris’ interview, correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Harris about the situation in the Gaza Strip and how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “isn’t listening” to the administration.

In promo 60 minutes special episode aired Facing the nationHarris responded, “Well, Bill, the work we’ve done has led to a number of movements in this region on the part of Israel that were largely caused or resulted from many things, including our advocacy of what was going to happen in the area.”

IN 60 minutes Harris responded on air: “We are not going to stop doing what is necessary to make sure the United States is clear where we stand on the need to end this war.”

Trump claims that CBS deliberately sought to present a shorter response from Harris on 60 Minutes to help her campaign.

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

Trump called Harris “a person of very low IQ,” and the lawsuit was the latest late-campaign attack on her syntax. The former president has previously filed lawsuits against the media in an attempt to highlight what he sees as media injustice, but judges have rejected the complaints. These include Trump’s lawsuits against The New York Times and CNN.

The network has not provided any comment on the lawsuit, but denies any manipulation.

The show told viewers that Harris’ two different answers were the same answer to the same question.

The show said in a statement: “Same question. Same answer. But that’s the other part of the answer.” Networks regularly cut interviews to fit segment length. Fox News, for example, cut part of Trump’s town hall with the help of Harris Faulkner, removing portions in which audience members openly advocated for the former president’s election, CNN reported.

IN letter sent to Trump’s legal team earlier this month, CBS News Senior Vice President Gail Sproul wrote that “60 minutes did not hide any part of the vice president’s answer to the question posed.”

In her letter to Trump’s lawyers, Sproul wrote: “It is logical to argue that 60 minutes hid the first part of the vice president’s answer to the question. This is wrong. The public knows about this part of her answer because 60 minutes herself publicly distributed it, providing Facing the nation for advertising purposes and placement on X and other sites. 60 minutes-branded social networks for the same reason.” Sprout also declined to provide Trump’s team with a transcript of the interview.

Trump kept raising the issue 60 minutes interviews at campaign rallies and other events, and he called on the network to lose its FCC license over it, as it has other networks because of their coverage.

Following his latest attack, Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel spoke out against it, saying his comments constituted “threats to free speech” that were “serious and should not be ignored.”
