Former Paramount chairwoman Shari Redstone privately expressed concerns that President Donald Trump could sue CBS News over its editing of an interview with Joe Biden, potentially exposing embarrassing internal documents. Redstone indicated that settling Trump's lawsuit regarding a separate interview with Kamala Harris was partly motivated by fears that a similar case involving Biden could damage CBS's reputation by revealing raw footage and internal communications. The New York Times reported that CBS staff described Biden as 'drowsy' during the interview and worried about the network's handling of such sensitive material. Redstone also criticized CBS for lacking balance in its coverage of Israel, suggesting that Trump's legal actions might prompt changes she had long sought within the network.
