Trump Brags His ‘60 Minutes’ Settlement Is Going to Cost Paramount Millions More

Donald Trump is boasting that his settlement payout from Paramount Global could be worth more than double the agreed cash amount once “advertising” is factored in.

“We did a deal for about $16 million plus $16 million, or maybe more than that, in advertising,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “So it’s a combination of 16 plus 16 plus. So it’s like $32 [million] to maybe $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.
