CBS is planning to drop a bombshell report on Donald Trump despite the ongoing $20 billion lawsuit leveled against the network by the president.
The broadcaster has said it will be running a segment on Sunday titled ‘The Rule of the Law’, which scrutinizes Trump’s executive orders against law firms.
‘On the campaign trail, President Trump vowed to wield the power of the presidency to go after his perceived enemies,’ the program description reads.
‘Now in the White House, Trump is using executive orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of “weaponizing” the justice system against him.’
Taking aim at CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, Trump’s lawsuit accuses producers of editing an October interview with Harris to sway public opinion in her favor.
The broadcast channel is also facing a probe by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) into whether the interview violated ‘news distortion’ rules.
Complainants said the station broke the law by cherry picking only a portion of Harris’ answer to a question about Middle East policy to present her in a favorable light.
Sunday’s 60 Minutes segment will be hosted by veteran reporter Scott Pelley, who shocked viewers last month when he issued a blistering criticism of his own corporate bosses live on air.
