The winning continues…
Paramount Global and CBS have agreed to pay President Donald Trump a sum that could exceed $30 million to settle his lawsuit alleging election interference against the network, marking yet another victory for the president.
Trump will receive an immediate payment of $16 million to cover legal fees, court costs, and contributions earmarked for his presidential library or charitable initiatives.
Fox News Digital has learned the settlement could include an additional, mid-eight-figure sum earmarked for future ads and public service announcements aligned with conservative causes, a provision CBS leadership continues to dispute.
Should this hold, CBS’s payment would dwarf ABC’s $15 million defamation settlement with Trump last year.
“With this record settlement, President Donald J. Trump delivers another win for the American people as he, once again, holds the Fake News media accountable for their wrongdoing and deceit. CBS and Paramount Global realized the strength of this historic case and had no choice but to settle. President Trump will always ensure that no one gets away with lying to the American People as he continues on his singular mission to Make America Great Again,” a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital.
Sources close to the situation told Fox News Digital that CBS has agreed to update its editorial standards to install a mandatory new rule. Going forward, the network will promptly release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates’ interviews. People involved in the settlement talks have referred to this as the “Trump Rule.”
