Months after President Donald Trump sued CBS News over a 60 Minutes segment featuring then-Vice President Kamala Harris, settlement discussions with representatives of CBS News’s parent company, Paramount, are reportedly ongoing.

Shari Redstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, strongly supports settling with Trump, according to a New York Times report. The move could upset some journalists at the network who have voiced concerns about the idea of their parent company settling litigation they consider equivalent to a politician’s typical problems with the media’s news judgment.
