Summary
CBS plans to demand Donald Trump’s personal financial records if his $20 billion lawsuit against the network proceeds to discovery.
Trump sued CBS over an allegedly doctored 2024 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, claiming election interference and unfair competition.
CBS argues the lawsuit is politically motivated “judge shopping” and lacks legal merit under Texas law. The network also contends Trump’s claims involve editorial, not commercial, speech.
The case is before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, and legal proceedings could force Trump to disclose financial ties to his media and campaign operations.
Twice i remember his tax returns being leaked and it accomplished nothing.
But this isnt just IRS records, or stuff the government already has. Its legal discovery, your required to provide much more than just the stuff wealthy people are already good at hiding from the feds.
