Donald Trump is suing CBS News over an interview its news magazine “60 Minutes” broadcast with Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this month that he claims was edited to cast her in a positive light. The lawsuit demands a jury trial and seeks $10 billion in “damages.” This is insane and only demonstrates how desperate Trump is.

The complaint, filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, alleges the network aired two different responses from Harris responding to a question about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The version that aired during the “60 Minutes” program on Oct. 6 did not include what the lawsuit calls a “word salad” response from Harris about the Biden administration’s influence on Israel’s conduct of the war.
“Former President Trump’s repeated claims against 60 Minutes are false,” a CBS News spokesperson said. “The lawsuit Trump has brought today against CBS is completely without merit and we will vigorously defend against it.”
Trump’s people filed the lawsuit not in New York, where CBS News is headquartered, but in a Trump-friendly court in Texas. You’ll recall the convicted felon cancelled his own interview with “60 Minutes.”
