Trump intends to continue his victories by suing ABC News and CBS News for supposedly biased reporting.

Despite his recent victory in the White House, President-elect Donald Trump continues to pursue legal action against ABC News and CBS News in two high-profile lawsuits.

Trump is currently suing ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos for defamation over remarks made earlier this year. Additionally, he is suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, alleging deceptive conduct for election interference during an October interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Both lawsuits are ongoing, with a pre-trial discovery hearing scheduled for Friday in the suit against the Disney-owned outlet. The CBS suit could potentially impact a massive media merger.

Incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung stated that President Trump will continue to hold those responsible for spreading false and dishonest information accountable, as it serves no public interest and only aims to influence elections for political gain.

In March, a civil case found Trump liable for rape, as asserted by ABC's Stephanopoulos.

During a heated conversation on "This Week," Stephanopoulos questioned Rep. Mace about her endorsement of Trump after she shared her experience as a rape victim.

E. Jean Carroll's legal victory against Donald Trump for rape and defamation was alluded to by Stephanopoulos, who mentioned the judges and juries that found Trump liable for these offenses.

Despite a jury determining Trump liable for "sexual abuse," which has a specific definition under New York law, Stephanopoulos repeated the claim ten times during his argument with Mace.

Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that even though the federal jury found Trump not guilty of rape, it does not mean that Carroll failed to prove that Trump raped her in the common understanding of the word.

The trial date for the suit against ABC has been postponed from April 2025 to June 2025 due to both parties requesting extensions.

Last month, Judge Lisette M. Reid of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued a protective order, urging parties to engage in "disclosure and discovery which may involve, among other things, the production of documents and information deemed confidential, including confidential newsgathering, research, or commercial information, and personal information of parties and third parties." The judge determined that an entry of a protective order pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is necessary to protect such information that may be produced or provided by the parties or non-parties. The judge found that good cause exists for entry of a protective order of confidentiality.

Stephanopoulos was supported by ABC after the interview. Pre-trial discovery hearings have been scheduled for December 13 and December 19.

CBS was sued for $10 billion by Trump, who claimed the network engaged in "deceptive conduct" during the "60 Minutes" interview with Harris to interfere with the election.

Why did it seem like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't listening to the United States, as asked by correspondent Bill Whitaker? Despite Vice President Harris's lengthy answer on Oct. 6, a shorter, more focused answer was shown on the following night of "60 Minutes."

Trump's legal team believes that CBS edited down the clip for time, while CBS claims it was done for time constraints.

Trump's lawyers claimed that the complaint was a result of "CBS's partisan and illegal actions of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion aimed at confusing, deceiving, and misleading the public." They also argued that the edits were made to "attempt to sway the outcome of the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, which President Trump is currently leading."

The lawsuit alleges that President Trump is taking legal action to address the significant harm caused to him, his campaign, and millions of citizens in Texas and across America due to CBS's misleading broadcasting practices.

According to a court document obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital, CBS filed a motion to dismiss last week due to "insufficient subject-matter jurisdiction and inadequate claim statement."

The First Amendment prohibits Trump from punishing defendants for their editorial judgments, according to CBS' legal team, who argued to dismiss the suit with prejudice.

There has been no further action since the notion to dismiss was filed.

The $8 billion merger between CBS parent company Paramount Global and Skydance Media may be impacted by the lawsuit, as incoming Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr must approve the deal.

Some believe that CBS should prove its impartiality as a news organization by releasing an unedited transcript of the "60 Minutes" interview with John Carr.

Carr did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Neither ABC News nor CBS News responded to requests for comment, and Paramount remained silent.
