CBS Faces Pressure as It Prepares to Hand Over Harris Interview Transcripts Amid Trump Lawsuit

CBS has agreed to comply with a request from the FCC to hand over the transcripts and footage of Kamala Harris’s interview on ‘60 Minutes’ as part of their review of the Paramount-Skydance merger. This decision comes amidst growing concern from CBS staff regarding potential settlement talks between Paramount and Donald Trump over his $10 billion lawsuit, which alleges deception in the interview. Critics, including Senator Bernie Sanders, have urged CBS to resist settling, fearing ramifications for press freedom. Reports indicate that CBS is caught between fulfilling regulatory obligations and navigating the complexities of its legal challenges with Trump.
