Paramount Global in recent days has offered $15 million to settle, according to people familiar with the situation. Trump's team wants more than $25 million and is also seeking an apology from CBS News, one of the people said.Earlier this month, CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon told staff she is leaving the network, the second high-profile departure from the news unit. One point of tension between McMahon and Paramount was her unwillingness to issue an apology to Trump as part of any potential settlement of the lawsuit, The Wall Street Journal reported.
| Personal Comment. Given the number of Lawsuits Trump has won, exposing the media deliberate bias and defamation, this could get costly for Paramount (CBS). |
