The NYT reported on the agreement between Trump and Paramount to mediate a $20 billion lawsuit.

American leader Donald Trump and Paramount from the United States have begun the process of pre-trial settlement of a $20 billion lawsuit against CBS News for distorting an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 60 Minutes program. This was reported by The New York Times on April 7, citing sources.

According to the newspaper, despite the mediation of the mediator, there are no guarantees that the parties will be able to achieve positive results.

It is clarified that many employees of the 60 Minutes program are opposed to the settlement, as it would be a blow to the reputation, but the lawyers of the American company fear that the conflict may drag on.

Whistling and cracking: how the Democrats tried to disrupt Trump's speech

One of the senators was escorted out of the hall during a speech on March 5.

On March 6, the American company Paramount filed two petitions with the court of the Northern District of Texas against Trump's lawsuit, which he initiated because of the Harris interview.

On February 5, the New York Post reported that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had published the full version of Harris' interview. It was noted that people who read the recording noticed that CBS News greatly shortened or edited some of the answers of the former vice president in order to make her speech more coherent. The head of the FCC, Brendan Carr, said that the organization would hold hearings on "fraudulent editing."
