Trump legal team, Paramount mull proposal for CBS to run PSAs for causes favored by prez to break quagmire over $20B lawsuit: sources
The PSAs would involve Paramount's CBS news subsidiary -- the defendant in Trump's controversial $20 billion lawsuit -- running what would be paid ads across its platforms that address issues such as the rise of antisemitism in American society that followed the Oct. 7 massacre of Jews by Hamas terrorists.
