The CBS news program "60 Minutes" has aired a segment that compared former President Donald Trump to a mob boss, a portrayal described by some as highly partisan. This broadcast comes amid ongoing legal tensions, as Trump filed a lawsuit last year against Paramount Global, the parent company of "60 Minutes," over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that he claims was edited to present her in a favorable light. Paramount Global is also reportedly engaged in talks to settle a $31 billion lawsuit with the U.S. administration related to election interference. Meanwhile, a group of U.S. senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, have urged Shari Redstone, Paramount's controlling shareholder, not to settle Trump's lawsuit against "60 Minutes." Additionally, a hearing in Nevada is expected to provide the first public insight into a legal dispute over control of the Murdoch media empire, which has ties to Paramount Global.
