Paramount Global said it would pay $16 million under its deal with President Donald Trump to settle his “60 Minutes” lawsuit, which legal experts widely agreed was baseless. But Trump is claiming the settlement is actually worth at least double that — and as much as $35 million,

The New York Post reported on July 2 that Paramount Global agreed, as part of its settlement in the president’s lawsuit against CBS’ 60 Minutes over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, to run between $15 million and $20 million worth of pro-Trump ads across its networks once it is acquired by David Ellison’s Skydance Media.

Trump's legal team lauded the agreement as a win for media accountability. But experts are concerned for the free press.
