Trump Lawsuit Against Harris: CBS Faces Financial Disclosure Fight
CBS is countersuing Donald Trump, demanding his financial records in response to his $20 billion lawsuit. Trump’s suit alleges CBS deceptively edited a Kamala Harris interview to favor Democrats, violating Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act. CBS argues the suit targets editorial, not commercial, speech, and that Trump’s Texas filing constitutes forum shopping. The countersuit seeks information on Trump’s business dealings and any conflicts of interest related to his campaign and Truth Social. Discovery will also examine whether the interview caused any confusion or damages.
