Krasnov demands bigger bribe from CBS as network's news staff jumps ship

President Donald Trump is reportedly demanding that Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, pay him even more in ongoing settlement negotiations over a lawsuit that legal experts have labeled frivolous.

Paramount is attempting to arrange the payment to Trump while his administration has the power to approve a multibillion-dollar merger between Paramount and Skydance Media, which gives the entire arrangement the appearance of an overt bribe.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Paramount offered to settle the suit for $15 million, but that Trump is demanding $25 million and an apology from CBS News. Trump has claimed that the network edited a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 and that the act interfered in the election.

Trump declined to sit down for an interview with CBS on the same program and stormed off the set during his “60 Minutes” interview in 2020 after he was asked a tough series of questions.
