BREAKING: President Trump Wins Massive Lawsuit
Donald Trump has secured a $36 million settlement in his lawsuit against CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” marking a significant win in his ongoing battle against what he calls the “Fake News media.”
The lawsuit centered around a defamation claim involving a selectively edited interview that Trump argued painted him in a false and defamatory light.
Trump’s legal team asserted that CBS intentionally misled viewers by omitting key portions of his interview and altering the narrative for political purposes.
In a massive financial victory, Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, paid Trump $16 million to settle the lawsuit.
Additionally, Sky dance Media agreed to provide $20 million in advertising and program commitments as part of the resolution.
Trump announced the results via a Truth Social post, celebrating the victory as yet another defeat for mainstream media’s credibility. “This is another in a long line of victories over the fake news media,” he wrote. “We held them accountable.”
The original interview aired during the 2020 election cycle and was widely circulated by major news outlets.
Trump and his team claimed it was edited to create a misleading impression of his policies and statements.
According to sources familiar with the legal proceedings, internal communications at CBS indicated awareness that the edited version would draw criticism. However, the network chose to proceed with its broadcast.
Trump’s legal win is being hailed by conservatives as a long-overdue reckoning for the media’s manipulation and bias.
“The media needs to be reminded that they are not above the law,” said one GOP strategist.
The case also highlights the growing momentum for legal action against media giants accused of slanting news coverage for political agendas.
Legal analysts say the $36 million figure could set a precedent for future defamation cases.
Republican lawmakers applauded the outcome. Representative Lauren Boebert stated, “This is what happens when you lie about the American people’s President. Truth and justice prevail.”
Critics on the left dismissed the case as political theater, but the settlement’s size suggests CBS took the threat of legal exposure seriously.
Many conservatives argue this victory is part of a larger pattern where Trump has forced accountability from institutions long seen as hostile to his America First platform.
Trump’s lawsuit joins a growing list of successful legal actions he has taken to combat false narratives, including wins over political opponents, media outlets, and federal agencies.
Supporters say these victories send a strong message to media companies that journalistic malpractice will not go unchecked.
A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team noted that the lawsuit was never about the money but about restoring the integrity of public discourse.
“President Trump has always stood up for the truth. This victory is for every American who’s tired of media lies.”
