“60 minutes” is planning to broadcast another critical segment on Sunday regarding the target of President Trump’s legal firms with executive orders-even after the Paramount Global Corporate Parent is in talks to resolve a high lawsuit with the President.
Correspondent Scott Pelley – who recently accused Paramount of editorial intervention – is leading the report, which is described by CBS Show as a look at how Trump is “using executive orders to target some of the largest legal firms in the country he accuses of ‘arming’ justice system against him.”
Peley made news last Sunday when he called his bosses into the air, accusing them of interfering with the program covering, which had led to the departure of the “60-minute” boss Bill Owens who also claimed a loss of journalism independence.
“Bill was assured that they [the show’s reports] They were accurate and fair, “Pelley told viewers.” He was harsh that way, but our parent company Paramount is trying to finish a union. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to oversee our content in new ways. None of our stories have been blocked, but Bill thought he had lost the independence of honest journalism. “
Sources said that the chief of Paramount Shari Redstone has expressed concern about CBS George Cheeks CEO CEO on critical segments to Trump and his policies, asking if the program could wait to run them until the merger between Paramount and Skydance Media was complete.
But the highest concerns come after the president attacked “60 minutes” over a host of segments.
There is no evidence of the increase in the “60 -minute” supervision that has led the show to change its programming, nor has the pages have ever tried to execute its request.
Reps for CBS and Redstone refused to comment.
Meanwhile, lawyers for Paramount and Trump have begun mediation in an attempt to resolve the president’s $ 20 billion lawsuit against the network on how “60 minutes” edited a decline with the then president and presidential candidate Harris last fall.

The solution talks are taking place as Paramount requires the approval of his joining Skydance from the Federal Communications Commission, which is also investigating Harris interview for “news distortion” complaints.
The segment Harris, who took place in October, received news and documentary Emmy Nomination earlier today for extraordinary edited interview.
Sources told the post that Trump is looking for $ 100 million to resolve the lawsuit – much more than what Paramount is ready to give.
As reported earlier by The Post, Paramount hopes to solve between $ 15 and $ 25 million – that is what Trump agreed to resolve lawsuits with ABC and Disney Meta earlier this year.
