Many want it to run its course , go to trial . It aint about the money , its exposing the Corrupt CBS media & 60 minutes .At a White House press conference with Conservative media 

influencers ,the question was discussed.

 

The incident:

“The President sued the broadcast news show last year over accusations that it deceptively edited an interview with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris”.

i don't care to hear bout it everyday. Let them settle or whatever.

The settlement would not be of merits to the case just that CBS/Paramount needs FCC approval for a sale of licensed broadcast properties.

The case itself may be a dud as it is only about Texas consumer protection laws and Donald Trump does not fit the definition of 'consumer' under the Texas law.

From the complaint filed in Amarillo TX Federal Court:

55. President Trump is a “consumer” within the meaning of the DTPA, since he is an individual who sought and received CBS’s broadcast services.

From the DPTA Texas statutes:

Sec. 17.45. DEFINITIONS. As used in this subchapter:

(4) "Consumer" means an individual, partnership, corporation, this state, or a subdivision or agency of this state WHO SEEKS OR ACQUIRES BY PURCHASE OR LEASE , any goods or services, except that the term does not include a business consumer that has assets of $25 million or more, or that is owned or controlled by a corporation or entity with assets of $25 million or more.
