“We write on behalf of our client, President Donald J Trump. On October 20, 2024, CBS News released a statement (the ‘October 20 Statement’) conceding that President Trump was accurate in his assertion that the 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris (the ‘Interview’), which aired in two different versions on October 5 and 6, 2024 broadcasts, was doctored in order to mislead the American People ahead of the Presidential Election. It is a matter of public record that ‘CBS cut portions of Harris’s answer to a question about the war in Gaza in its initial broadcast, but it later provided [an allegedly] full transcript of her remarks online.’ The open question is whether such posted transcript is original or whether it has also been doctored, edited, or manipulated in any way that is helpful to Kamala Harris’ failing campaign. The October 20 Statement clearly admits that edits were done in order to make Harris’ answers appear more ‘succinct,'” and we’re skipping ahead…
“We therefore demand that you immediately provide and publicly release the full, unedited transcript of the 60 Minutes Interview with Kamala Harris. Additionally, in contemplation of possible litigation, we demand that you preserve all communications and documents relating to this Interview, together with any edits of the Interview’s content, and that you refrain from destroying any relevant communications or documents. Kindly confirm receipt of this letter within 48 hours and further confirm your intention to cooperate with these demands. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation,” says a letter to CBS VP Gayle Sproul written by convicted felon former President Trump’s shitbag campaign lawyer Edward Paltzik that the fat bastard posted on Monday night.
Missing from this is what they’re going to do if CBS doesn’t comply with their demand for the transcript. Yes, “continue fucking whining publicly” is a given, but we mean legal recourse. What actual grounds will they pretend to have if they actually file a complaint over this?
