Trump says ‘60 Minutes’ lawsuit settlement is more than double the $16M that Paramount claims

The two sides last week ended their legal battle over alleged deceptive editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris, with CBS’ parent company agreeing to fork over the same amount paid by Disney-owned ABC News in a defamation suit brought by Trump last year.

The Paramount settlement, however, includes a side deal between Skydance CEO David Ellison and Trump to run between $15 million and $20 million in public service announcements promoting causes supported by the president, The Post’s Charles Gasparino reported.
