President Donald Trump accuses Democrats of 'paying off' media outlets for favorable coverage, specifically citing CBS and 60 Minutes. He claims that the network edited an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris to remove unfavorable answers. Trump also questions whether other media outlets, such as The New York Times, have received similar payments. Additionally, he criticizes the now-defunct government agency USAID for paying $8 million to Politico for subscriptions. Trump has filed a lawsuit against CBS News over the edited interview, which has been reopened by the newly appointed FCC Chairman.
