The New York Post reported on July 2 that Paramount Global agreed, as part of its settlement in the president’s lawsuit against CBS’ 60 Minutes over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, to run between $15 million and $20 million worth of pro-Trump ads across its networks once it is acquired by David Ellison’s Skydance Media.

CBS' parent company will pay $16 million to President Trump over a “60 Minutes” episode aired last fall, during the closing weeks of the election

The move comes as a striking concession in a case that has been seen as a threat to bedrock American principles of free speech.
