Paramount has agreed to settle President Trump's lawsuit over a "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris for $16 million, the company announced late Tuesday.

During a Zoom meeting with 60 Minutes staff on Wednesday—just hours after Paramount announced it had settled with Trump for $16 million—correspondent Bill Whitaker appeared “teary-eyed” as he spoke about the show, according to media reporter Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter.

The news that Paramount Global will settle Donald Trump’s 60 Minutes lawsuit for $16 million certainly did not come as a shock to staffers at CBS News. For months, there has been a great deal of consternation and even resignation at the prospect of a settlement and the impact that it would have on the news division.
