Trump’s lawsuit focused on the exchange Harris had with the “60 minute” correspondent with Bill Whitaker. In a review aired on “Face the Nation”, Harris wondered why it seems that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not listen to now
“Well, Bill, the job we did resulted in numerous movements in that region by Israel that have greatly encouraged or the result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” Harris answered in the clip ” Face the nation. ”
Harris mocked the conservatives for offering a long “word salad” to Whitaker. But when the same question was broadcast next night in temporary elections, A shorter, focused answer The Vice President followed.
“We will not stop following what it takes for the United States to be clear about where we are standing on the need to end this war,” Harris said in Primetime Special.
Critics have accused CBS News of arranging Harris’s “Salad Salad” reply to the protection of vice president from further return. Trump’s lawyers claim that news organizations are “responsible for the precision presentation of the truth of the event, not distorting the interview to try to make them falsely make their preferred candidate coherent and decisive, which Kamala certainly not.”
CBS News and Paramount did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital Requests for comment.

CBS News had previously refused to publish the entire transcript, citing the first amendment and rejected the claim that he had “received” the interview with Harris in order to delve into the American people. The net insisted that the “interview had not received his doctorate” and that the program “did not hide any part of the answer to the vice president to the disputed question”.
CBS speculation only comes a few weeks after ABC News settled a defamation lawsuit that Trump filed, which resulted in giving him $ 15 million and a written apology.
