The news: Paramount has settled a lawsuit with Donald Trump after the president sued the company following a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris that he argued contained “deceptive doctoring,” the company announced Tuesday.
- The settlement, which will see Paramount pay $16 million to Trump’s presidential library, will not include a public apology from Paramount, but does require the release of “60 Minutes” transcripts from interviews with presidential candidates.
- Sources cited by The Hollywood Reporter claim the lawsuit posed a threat to Paramount’s pending merger with Skydance, which will require the Trump administration’s approval.
