Summary
CBS plans to demand Donald Trump’s personal financial records if his $20 billion lawsuit against the network proceeds to discovery.
Trump sued CBS over an allegedly doctored 2024 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, claiming election interference and unfair competition.
CBS argues the lawsuit is politically motivated “judge shopping” and lacks legal merit under Texas law. The network also contends Trump’s claims involve editorial, not commercial, speech.
The case is before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, and legal proceedings could force Trump to disclose financial ties to his media and campaign operations.
Wow, so we get to see how corrupt the corrupt dictator is. And this will stop his tyranny how?
The “nice” thing here is that it would actually put in the record how corrupt he is. Not that that would do much other than nock another arrow for later suits.
He won’t. He’ll just do whatever he wants and bully them into settling.
Yeah, this. Theres no chance he does any of that.
