Trump Announces Paramount Settlement, Hints at Secret Side Deal
In a Truth Social post, President Trump announced Paramount had paid a $16 million settlement regarding a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview. He also anticipates an additional $20 million from new owners in advertising, PSAs, or similar programming. While the settlement was announced amid Paramount’s merger with Skydance, Trump has alluded to a side deal involving advertising. Democratic senators have inquired with Skydance about a separate agreement, with CBS denying any connection to Trump or the Skydance deal when announcing the end of Stephen Colbert’s show.
