'60 Minutes' nominated for Emmy Award, Donald Trump has filed a $20 billion lawsuit against the show
Emmy Awards, 60 Minutes: The 60 Minutes show has been nominated for the Emmy Award. Kamala Harris' interview was aired on this show, seeing which Trump got angry.
An American TV show '60 Minutes' has been in the news again in these days. This show has generated a controversy with its interview. This interview was so infuriating for US President Donald Trump that he filed a $20 billion defamation case against Kamala Harris on CBS Network. Now this show has become a candidate for prestigious Emmy Award. This was an interview of Kamala Harris. It is a matter of interest to know about this entire controversy and why this is so much talked about.
Last year, Kamala Harris' interview was aired on '60 Minutes'. Trump claims that this interview was wrongly edited to show his Democratic rival Kamala Harris better. This interview has now been nominated for the Emmy Award in the 'Outstanding Edited Interview' category. The award ceremony will take place at the end of June, where '60 Minutes' will compete with interviews of Celine Dion, Supreme Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Pope Francis and basketball star Britney Griner.
This interview has put CBS News in trouble. CBS says that they have done nothing wrong, but their parent company Paramount Global is reportedly in talks with Trump for a settlement. Many CBS journalists are against this agreement. Amidst this controversy, former executive producer of '60 Minutes' Bill Owens resigned last month. In his resignation, he said that corporate restrictions were imposed on him after this interview. This matter is now also under investigation by the FCC chairman of the Trump administration.
Trump again expressed his displeasure over this interview on his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday. This time his anger also came out on the New York Times. In fact, on Tuesday, the New York Times had said in an article that legal experts consider Trump's lawsuit baseless and this would be an easy victory for CBS. Trump called it 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' and threatened legal action against the newspaper. In response, The New York Times said, "We will not be intimidated by the administration's threats."
