• Sareen Habeshian , Axios; Trump sues CBS News for $10 billion over Harris interview

"Former President Trump filed a lawsuit against CBS News Thursday, alleging the network engaged in election interference by doctoring a "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Harris, per a court filing.

Driving the news: Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages for CBS's alleged "partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference," which the lawsuit claims were intended to confuse the public and "attempt to tip the scales" toward Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.

• The lawsuit was first reported by Fox News."
