Summary
CBS is seeking dismissal of a $10 billion lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump, which alleges the network engaged in “misleading” editing of Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview on 60 Minutes. Trump’s lawsuit claims that the edited footage distorted Harris’s responses to make her appear more competent, thereby interfering with the electoral process.
The lawsuit stems from a controversy over how Harris’s responses were presented during her interview with CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker. Trump’s legal team argues that the network used selective editing to mislead the public about Harris’s abilities, particularly regarding a question on U.S.-Israeli relations. CBS has countered that the edits were standard practice for time constraints and clarity, asserting that their editing did not misrepresent Harris’s answers. The network’s attorneys also argue that the lawsuit lacks jurisdiction, as it was filed in a Texas court while CBS operates primarily out of New York.
