  • "The First Amendment prevents holding CBS liable for editorial judgments the President may not like," the motion to dismiss says. The post 'President Trump lacks standing': CBS rubbishes lawsuit over Kamala Harris '60 Minutes' interview as procedurally baseless and prohibited by the First Amendment first appeared on Law & Crime.

The article discusses a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump against CBS over an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on "60 Minutes." Trump's lawsuit claims defamation, asserting that the interview falsely portrayed him as having engaged in criminal activity. However, CBS has dismissed the lawsuit as "procedurally baseless" and argued that it is prohibited by the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech and press. CBS contends that Trump lacks standing to sue because he cannot demonstrate a direct injury from the broadcast, and the network's reporting falls within the bounds of protected journalistic activity. Legal experts cited in the article suggest that Trump's case is unlikely to succeed due to these constitutional protections and the lack of clear evidence of defamation.
