Trump sued the network last fall as a private citizen after it aired an interview with his rival, then Vice President Kamala Harris. CBS broadcast two versions of an answer she gave about the war in Gaza, a shorter one on Face the Nation and a Longer1 on 60 Minutes. Trump claimed that amounted to election fraud.
