’60 minutes’ shows that it is not afraid of Trump’s lawsuit and threats

“60 minutes” is not easy for President Trump.

The CBS Newsmagazine was involved in a legal dispute with the President in October with the then Vice President Kamala Harris, who claims that Trump was dealt with deceptively to help her presidential campaign. The lawsuit is an obstacle to CBS News Parent Paramount Global of 8 billion US dollars of SkyDance Media.

Since the lawsuit was submitted last autumn, “60 minutes” remained in the reporting on the policy of Trump administration. Last Sunday, the correspondent Scott Pelley was no different last Sunday, as Trump used to the instructions to address law firms that he was “weapons” against him.

The orders threatened to exclude lawyers from court buildings and federal authorities and to terminate state contracts of the law firms and their clients. Several law firms agreed to provide free legal services for initiatives supported by the president in order to avoid the order.

“Pull companies say what the President has signed mean a death penalty of companies,” said Pelley in the report.

Marc Elias, a lawyer who successfully fought for Trump’s court challenges of the election results of 2020, told Pelley that the actions of the White House were “the way in which a mob boss intimidated the people in the neighborhood, that he is either exhausting either protection allowance or another nefric behavior.”

Pelley also spoke to lawyer Brenna Frey, who, in protest from her former company Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, stepped down after it had completed a deal with Trump to escape order.

“I think the message that she sends to the country is the power that matters,” said Frey. “If you have authority, you can exercise this authority as you want. And if that’s true, why do you have a legal system at all? Why do you have law firms or lawyers at all?”

Trump has not published a response to the Sunday segment to Truth Social, where in recent weeks he has been involved in reporting on the reporting on the Russian Ukraine War through his government, reducing the Federal Government’s Reasons and the request of the President.

Trump had an otherwise busy night in the truth and presented plans to give a 100% tariff for films that were made in overseas and the reopening of Alcatraz prisons in “House of America’s most reckless and violent criminals”.

Trump encouraged his Federal Communications Chief Brendan Carr to punish CBS and his corporate parents about his long -standing beef with “60 minutes”.

The problem has also put the pressure on the control of shareholder Shari Redstone, which has promoted an agreement to facilitate the sale of Paramount to the family under the direction of the billionaire -mogul -mogul Larry Ellison. Redstone’s obvious willingness to appease Trump has triggered sharp protests within the company.

At the beginning of this year, the President doubled the amount of the damage he asked for $ 20 billion in the “60 minutes” lawsuit. His legal registration tried to distract the case of the problems of the 1st change and instead to claim 60 minutes was a fraudulent product that harms the viewers in Texas.

During a meeting on April 18, the board of Paramount agreed to the parameters for a possible agreement with Trump, how two people were familiar with the discussions that were not authorized to comment.
