President Donald Trump’s legal team added new claims to its lawsuit against CBS News on Friday after 60 Minutes released the unedited transcript of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview that aired a month before the election.
Trump sued CBS in October for engaging in “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion,” arguing the interview’s deceptive editing made Harris look more favorable. The $10 billion lawsuit was filed five days before the election. Two days after the transcript’s release, Trump doubled the damages incurred to $20 billion.
