Both the Federal Communications Commission and CBS News publicly released the transcript and raw video of last October’s 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, which is at the center of President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the network.
The Trump-appointed chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, had requested the materials after a “news distortion” complaint was filed against the network. Carr said the complaint could be a factor in his agency’s review of the merger between the network’s parent company Paramount Global and Skydance Media, prompting Paramount executives to pursue a potential settlement with Trump’s legal team.
