President Trump is fighting against CBS’s “60 Minutes” for airing false stories about him, demanding the highest fines and license revocation. The network faces a $10 billion lawsuit over manipulated content, including a deceptively edited Kamala Harris interview during the election. Trump’s push for accountability represents his ongoing battle against mainstream media bias that resonates deeply with supporters who believe news organizations deliberately target him.
Trump’s $10 Billion Lawsuit Against “60 Minutes”
President Trump launched a massive legal offensive against CBS News with a $10 billion lawsuit over their handling of Kamala Harris’s interview on “60 Minutes.” The lawsuit claims the network deliberately edited Harris’s responses to present her more favorably while consistently portraying Trump negatively, potentially affecting the election outcome.

The legal action has reportedly created significant internal turmoil at CBS and could impact its pending merger with Skydance Media. CBS executives allegedly consider settlement options as the lawsuit threatens their financial stability and reputation in a challenging media landscape.
FCC Action Demanded Against CBS
President Trump formally called on FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to take immediate regulatory action against CBS for what he describes as “unlawful and illegal behavior.” His Truth Social posts specifically requested the maximum possible fines and suggested the network should lose its broadcasting license for repeatedly airing what he considers defamatory content about him.

The former president’s demands follow what he describes as multiple instances of deceptive reporting, particularly regarding stories about Ukraine and Greenland. Trump maintains that “60 Minutes” has transformed from a respected news program into a political operation designed to damage his reputation through selective editing and misrepresentation.
Pattern of Media Manipulation
Trump’s criticism extends beyond the recent broadcasts to what he describes as a systematic pattern of deception by “60 Minutes” and CBS News. In his statement, he referenced how the program “mentions the name ‘TRUMP’ in a derogatory and defamatory way” nearly every week, creating what his supporters view as an ongoing campaign of media bias.
“Almost every week, 60 Minutes, which is being sued for Billions of Dollars for the fraud they committed in the 2024 Presidential Election with their Interview of Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, mentions the name “TRUMP” in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend’s “BROADCAST” tops them all.”
Trump specifically mentioned two stories from a recent broadcast that he claimed misrepresented his positions and actions regarding Ukraine and Greenland. He connected the Ukraine conflict directly to his claims about the 2020 election, stating that the war “would never have happened if the 2020 Election had not been RIGGED, in other words, if I were President.”
The former president expressed pride in taking legal action against a media giant many conservatives believe operates with impunity. His concluding statement, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” reaffirms his commitment to challenging what his supporters see as corrupt institutions working against American interests and fairness in reporting.
