Trump Sues CBS for $20 Billion Over Harris Interview
President Trump’s amended lawsuit against CBS News, now co-filed with Rep. Ronny Jackson, alleges deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris “60 Minutes” interview, increasing the damages sought from $10 billion to $20 billion. The suit claims this editing constituted unfair competition under the Lanham Act, aiming to boost Harris’s appeal and harm Trump’s Truth Social platform. The complaint cites “doctored” footage presented as misleading advertising, violating both the Lanham Act and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. This amended complaint, filed in Texas, includes a new claim of election interference and adds Jackson as a plaintiff affected by the alleged deceptive practices.
