Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump over an interview that aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes. This settlement includes money for Trump’s legal fees and costs, with the rest going toward his future presidential library. While this seems like a black-and-white decision, it could be a possible exchange of favors.
As found by MSNBC, Senator Ron Wyden accused CBS of paying “Trump a bribe for merger approval.” and promised, “When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.”
