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.
The kicker is, he needs to win the lawsuit to become a billionaire before he shows his financials, to avoid his sycophants discovering he has never been a billionaire.
Although what would they care. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
With the sale of his Trump meme coin, he probably is a billionaire now. Yes, it tanked, but he doesn’t care. He already has their money.
I don’t think any major purchasers care, either, since it was probably a money laundering front in the first place.
He cares. It’s all [self-]image. He doesn’t care whether they care or not, it’s a blow to his ego. It’s the Hindenburg.
