Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against CBS News, claiming the network manipulated a recent �60 Minutes� interview with Vice President Kamala Harris to present her in an overly favorable light. The lawsuit, submitted Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, seeks $10 billion in damages. It accuses CBS of engaging in �partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.�

The lawsuit argues that CBS used its platform to �paper over Kamala�s �word salad� weakness� by selectively editing the interview, allegedly crossing the line from editorial judgment to �deceptive manipulation of news.�

CBS News has yet to comment on the lawsuit.

Trump and his supporters have been vocal in criticizing CBS since the interview aired, citing the omission of Harris’s answer to a question about the Gaza conflict, which was later posted online rather than included in the full broadcast.

The former president had initially agreed to a similar interview with �60 Minutes� but withdrew after the program confirmed it would fact-check him. Trump hinted at a possible legal action earlier this month, suggesting CBS �should lose their license and take �60 Minutes� off the air.�

The lawsuit was filed in Amarillo, Texas, where it was automatically assigned to U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee known for his rulings on conservative legal challenges, including the reinstatement of the �Remain in Mexico� asylum policy.
