President Donald Trump is reportedly holding out on a $15 million settlement offer from Paramount Global, demanding more money and an apology.
Paramount and Trump have been locked in negotiations for a month over a lawsuit the president filed last year against CBS News, which is overseen by Paramount. The media company has offered $15 million to settle the case, but Trump’s team rejected the offer, wanting at least $25 million and an apology for interfering in the 2020 election, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Trump sued CBS News in November over an interview the network conducted with former Vice President Kamala Harris during an episode of “60 Minutes.” The lawsuit accused the news company of deceptively editing the interview to make Harris appear much sharper than she actually performed. The network has said the interview was “not doctored or deceitful.”
