Live from NPR News in Washington, Incorva Coleman, the parent company of 60 Minutes,
has struck a deal with President Trump to pay his future library $16 million.
This is to settle his lawsuit over an interview last fall with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
As NPR's David Falkenfleck reports, Paramount Global's controlling owner, Sheri Redstone,
had sought to settle the lawsuit as she tries to sell the company.
Legal observers interviewed by NPR say Trump's lawsuit was meritless, even laughable.
But it mattered
because the sale has to be approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
Under Trump's pick as chair,
the commission was reviewing CBS for so-called news distortion.
Trump alleged election interference
because 60 Minutes used two different parts of Harris's answer to a question on the Israel-Hamas conflict for two different shows.
The executive producer of 60 Minutes and the president of CBS News and Stations left after arguing against any settlement or apology.
Paramount paid to smooth the way for the deal, which includes Trump's legal costs.
