The broadcaster on Friday moved to dismiss a lawsuit Trump had filed over edits made to Kamala Harris’ interview on the network.
, CBS ’ attorneys argue that the suit should be dismissed because it was filed in Texas, protesting that neither of the two defendants— CBS Broadcasting, based in New York, and CBS Interactive, based in Delaware—are subject to the court’s jurisdiction. At the very least, they are asking for the case to be transferred to New York.
The suit is related to Harris’ response to a question about Israel that was edited down when it was included in theTrump’s suit accused CBS of “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.” “To paper over Kamala’s ‘word salad’ weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation of news,” it also alleged.“60 MINUTES fairly presented the Interview to inform the viewing audience, and not to mislead It,” wrote Gayle Sproul, CBS News’ senior vice president for legal affairs. “Indeed, your contention that 60 MINUTES acted nefariously is entirely unfounded.
Despite the extent to which Trump complained about—and seemed to obsess over—the edited clip, it didn’t seem to do much damage to his presidential aspirations; the Republican handed Harris a decisive loss on Election Day. Nevertheless, the legal battle continues.
