**NEW YORK** – CBS has filed a motion to dismiss the $10 billion lawsuit filed against them by Donald Trump, arguing the Texas court lacks jurisdiction. The lawsuit, filed days before the election, alleges CBS interfered in the election by deceptively editing an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris for its *60 Minutes* program.
Trump claimed the editing of Harris’ response to a question about Israel constituted a “single biggest scandal in broadcast history,” focusing on the discrepancy between the shorter *60 Minutes* version and a longer, less coherent clip shown on *Face the Nation*. His suit accused CBS of “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference.”
CBS denies these accusations, stating in its court filing that the interview was edited for time constraints to allow coverage of multiple topics within the allotted 21 minutes. The network maintains the editing was fair and not intended to mislead viewers. They are requesting the case be dismissed or transferred to New York, where CBS Broadcasting is based.
Despite Trump’s claims and the substantial damages sought, the legal battle continues even after his electoral defeat. The outcome of CBS’s motion to dismiss remains to be seen.
