Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump sued CBS on Thursday over an interview of his Democratic rival Kamala Harris aired on its 60 Minutes news programme in early October that the lawsuit alleged was misleading, according to a court filing.
The complaint, filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, alleges that the network aired two different responses from Harris responding to a question about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The version that aired during the 60 Minutes programme on October 6 did not include what the lawsuit calls a “word salad” response from Harris about the Biden administration’s influence on Israel’s conduct of the war.
A spokesperson for CBS did not immediately respond to a request for comment
