By Lucas Manfredi

CBS is once again blasting President Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against the network’s “60 Minutes” Kamala Harris interview as “meritless” and an attempt to “evade bedrock First Amendment principles” in a new filing with the Texas federal court.

The president has alleged that the Harris interview caused him “mental anguish” after being deceptively edited to make her look good. He also claims that its “false advertising and tampering” withheld viewers’ attention from him and his social media platform Truth Social, resulting in a decrease in value for Trump Media and Technology Group and his other media holdings while also violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

The suit, filed in a Washington D.C. district court Monday, comes in response to an investigation the FTC launched in May to determine whether or not Media Matters had illegally worked with other groups to boycott and lower the advertising money brought in by X. As is outlined in the new lawsuit, Media Matters first reported in Nov. 2023 that ads on X were appearing next to anti-semitic and pro-Nazi propaganda.
