President Trump’s lawyers and Parents’ paramount lawyers of CBS News are about to start with a case of Mr Trump on Wednesday that his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris has been accused of editing an interview with “60 minutes”.
Law experts are baseless and have said a simple victory for CBS. However, the paramount is entering the discussion prepared to make a contract.
At a meeting of April 18, the Paramount Board mentioned the acceptable financial terms for possible settlement with the President, according to three people with internal discussion knowledge. The amount of the right dollar remains unclear, but the board’s action clears a way for resolution outside the court.
Shari Redstone, a regulator of the company, says he is in favor of settling the case. He is about to receive a large pay-off for the sale of the Hollywood studio, Skydance paramount, which requires sign-offs from the Trump administration. The board will require approval until the end of any settlement and Mrs. Redstone has informed the Board that he is recovering himself from discussions on the case.
Paramount refused to comment.
Paramount’s interest in settling has disappointed CBS’s news department, especially “60 minutes” staff, the most popular weekly news program in the country. Four days after the board’s meeting on April 18, the show’s executive maker Bill Ovens suddenly announced that he would quote the occupation of his journalism and resigned and said that the paramount “was done to me.”
The resignation of Mr. Ovens has sent shock waves through the media industry, which has faced a growing series of legal and ornate attacks from the President. Mr. Trump has sued television networks, threatened to withdraw broadcast licenses, and journalists have been banned from news outlets refused to attend some White House events.
Walt Disney Company owned ABC News December agreed to pay $ 16 million to settle a defamation case by Mr. Trump that many media lawyers were considered illegal. This decision predicted a series of other high-profile settlements with Mr. Trump by corporate law agencies and major universities.
“Within 60 minutes” Mr. Ovens told confidently that he felt increasingly pressure from paramount in recent months. In January, Mrs. Redstone complained to CBS executives about a “60 minute” section about war between Israel and Hamas. Subsequently, a senior CBS News Executive was asked to review the “60 minutes” pieces touched in the Middle East or Trump administration.
Although no division was canceled as a result, Mr. Wavens was upset over the move. “60 minutes” has long been proud of the rest of the CBS news section of the autonomy from the rest of the CBS and Mr. Ovens told his staff that the additional level of review could create “really slippel”.
The excitement spreads again on April 8, when the President of Greenland and Ukraine Vloadimire Zelanski with his oval office dust on his oval office’s effort “605 min” pieces of pieces in pieces of pieces in pieces The President responded angrily to social media that “CBS and Paramount” should be punished for their illegal and illegal behavior “for their illegal and illegal behavior. “
Mrs. Redstone was worried in that position and he requested a briefing from Paramount’s Vice-Chief Executive George Geek that the politically sensitive sections that “60 minutes” planned for the rest of her season, which ended in May, according to the two, with the knowledge of the conversation.
Mrs. Redstone expressed concern over some of these categories and encouraged Mr. Geks to ensure that the news department was fair in favor of coverage, though “605 minutes” did not change the comments, people said. Bloomberg and Semfour had previously reported Mrs. Redston’s conversation with Paramount leadership.
At that time Mr. Oven reached the conclusion that staying in “60 minutes” in the long run would be ineligible for him. In the future categories, Mrs. Redston’s investigation into Mrs. Redston’s investigation to draw public attention to the public and to refuse to refuse to interfere with people’s 605 minutes to draw public attention and to consider the announcement of her resignation.
He did this at a sensitive meeting last Tuesday, this time the correspondent Lesle Stahl was stopped and Mr. Oven could barely publish his words. “It is clear that I am becoming a problem – I’m the problem of corporation,” he said according to an audio recording. Mr. Oven expressed regret for “having a mender” and it seems that Mrs. Redstone’s request was indicated. “In a million years,” he said, “The corporation didn’t know what was coming.”
The disappointment at “60 minutes” about his corporate owners came to the surface at the end of the telecast on Sunday night. In a wonderful category, the correspondent Scott Pelie, former anchor of “CBS Evening News” and a long -time friend of Mr. Ovens, told the audience that his boss resigned because he “felt that he had lost independence that good journalism was needed.” Mr. Pelly called the paramount by the name.
Anxiety about the intervention of the Show’s Midtown Manhattan offices did not go away.
This week, some “60 minutes” producers have expressed concern that corporate principals can interfere in an upcoming section about conflicts between major law agencies and the Trump administration, according to the two of the conversation knowledge.
This section, organized by Mr. Pelly, could promote as soon as Sunday.
