There's a reason why so many at CBS News are dismayed at the prospect of a settlement in Donald Trump's $20 billion lawsuit. An analysis of the case.

President Donald Trump threatened legal action against The New York Times, calling the newspaper’s citation of legal experts’ opinion of his lawsuit against CBS “likely unlawful.” The Times reported Tuesday evening that legal representatives for Trump and Paramount are set to begin mediation on Wednesday over Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit alleging “60 Minutes” deceptively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris before the election.

President Trump on Wednesday said the New York Times should be held liable for "interference" in his ongoing lawsuit against CBS News. Why it matters: The threat is the latest Trump has made against a news outlet whose coverage he dislikes or disagrees with, and the Times quickly pushed back on it.
