Trump sues CBS over Kamala Harris ’60 Minutes’ interview

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sued CBS on Thursday over an interview of his Democratic rival Kamala Harris aired on its “60 Minutes” news program in early October that the lawsuit alleged was and misleading, according to a court filing.

The complaint, filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, alleges that the network aired two different responses from Harris responding to a question about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The version that aired during the “60 Minutes” program on Oct. 6 did not include what the lawsuit calls a “word salad” response from Harris about the Biden administration’s influence on Israel’s conduct of the war.

A spokesperson for CBS did not immediately respond to a request for comment

Trump and Harris face each other in what polls show to be a tight race ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election.

The suit demanded a jury trial and about $10 billion in damages, the filing showed. It alleges violations of a Texas law barring deceptive acts in the conduct of business.

Trump has repeatedly assailed the network on the campaign trail over the episode and has threatened to revoke CBS’s broadcasting license if elected. CBS has said Trump backed out of his own planned interview with “60 Minutes.” (This story has been refiled to make CBS possessive in paragraph 7)
