Sen. Bernie Sanders and eight Democratic senators have urged the controlling shareholder of Paramount, the parent of CBS News, not to settle a lawsuit filed by President Trump over an interview on “60 Minutes,” the New York Times reports.
From the letter: “In the United States of America, presidents do not get to punish or censor the media for criticizing them. Freedom of the press is what sets us apart from tin-pot dictatorships and authoritarian regimes.”
