June 25 (Reuters) - A mediator has proposed that Paramount Global (PARA.O) and U.S. President Donald Trump settle his lawsuit against CBS News over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris for $20 million, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
The proposal would include a $17 million donation to Trump's presidential foundation or museum, as well as millions more in legal fees and public service announcements on Paramount-owned networks to fight antisemitism, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Paramount declined to comment.
Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS in October, alleging the network deceptively edited a "60 Minutes" interview with then-vice president and presidential candidate Harris to "tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party" in the election. In an amended complaint filed in February, Trump bumped his claim for damages to $20 billion.
