Paramount to Pay $16 Million to Settle Trump '60 Minutes' Lawsuit
Paramount agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit from Donald Trump over edits to a '60 Minutes' interview, without admitting fault, as part of a broader effort to facilitate its sale to Skydance Media amid regulatory and legal challenges. The settlement avoids a costly court fight, but drew criticism from free speech advocates, and is linked to ongoing regulatory scrutiny and corporate disputes within Paramount.
