'60 Minutes' correspondent Scott Pelley warns a CBS settlement with Trump would be 'very damaging'

CBS' Scott Pelley warned a settlement between President Donald Trump and CBS would be "very damaging" to the company's reputation during an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.

Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.

Trump filed a lawsuit against Paramount Global, CBS News' parent company, over a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in October 2024. Fox News Digital confirmed that Trump rejected a $15 million offer to settle his lawsuit, according to a source familiar with the matter, as the president's legal team is also demanding at least $25 million and an apology from CBS News.

Cooper, who is also a correspondent on "60 Minutes," also asked Pelley about former show producer Bill Owens resigning from the program in April.
