President Trump is capable of a massive payment by CBS – significantly more than he accepted by ABC and Meta – to pay off his $ 10 billion lawsuit over the alleged election intervention, the post has learned.
Knowledge sources for negotiations told the post that Trump’s lawyers are ready to look for as many nine digits – an amount that would exceed 16 million dollars recently paid by ABC and $ 25 million presented by Meta in weeks last.
Both sides began “very preliminary” discussions last week about the controversial “60 -minute” interview with Kamala Harris, which Trump claimed to have been edited to raise the democrat in the presidential race.
Trump’s team has not yet proposed a solution offer for Paramount, told a source with knowledge of posting negotiations.
But a source close to Trump’s legal team said he would not be surprised if the president demanded $ 100 million – or more.
“Is it a $ 100m option or $ 150 million? I don’t see why not,” the source said.
The expected opening of nine figures by the Trump team would be similar to the difficult negotiation tactics used by his legal team against ABC in his defamation lawsuit after the george stehatpanopoulos’s anchor insisted that Trump was “found Responsible for rape, ”the source added.
These negotiations included Donald Trump Jr., according to suicide.
The president’s oldest son, whose participation in the talks has not been reported before, had reached a probative deal for about $ 15 million, but then Trump’s lawyers reached the demand for approximately three times that much, the source said.
Both sides finally settled with $ 15 million by donating to the Trump presidential library and another $ 1 million in lawyers’ fees.
“I think what happened to ABC proves that Trump will be very aggressive,” the source said.
ABC refused to comment.
CBS parent Paramount Global and the interested parties of the giant media shari Redstone have a lot of riding the issue while it seems to finally close the union with Larry and David Ellison controlled by Skydance Media.
The $ 8 billion agreement – $ 2 billion less than what Trump is casting CBS to a court in Texas – was expected to close in the first quarter of the year. The Redstone family is set to leave with $ 1.75 billion.
But the agreement faces strong control by the Federal Communication Commission, which has planned a public hearing at the end of next month on “news distortion” charges against CBS News.
On Wednesday, FCC chairman appointed by Trump Brendan Carr released the Harris’s “60 minutes” transcript and video, which revealed that the honorable news program shortened one of its “Salad Salad” answers in alone 20 words.
“Carr is trying to start cans on the road, so he does not have to make a decision to adopt the Union,” speculated a source close to the talks and will give the parties a chance to solve before FCC opens.
Representatives for CBS and FCC refused to comment.
Trump slammed the network in a post on social truth after the transcription is released.
“This was the elections that changed” items “, electoral interference and, merely electoral fraud at a level that has never been seen before. CBS should lose its license,” he wrote.
A lawyer for Trump also claimed “CBS and her parent company Paramount cheated the American people.”
“Real responsibility for CBS and Paramount will ensure that the president be compensated for the damage done to him, and will prevent false news from further distortion of facts to bring a partisan agenda to a party,” Trump’s lawyer Ed Paltzik told the post .
