Lawyers for CBS say they plan to demand that President Donald Trump — who is allegedly letting DOGE pillage U.S. treasury data, according to multiple lawsuits — fork over his own personal finance information to the network, should he follow through with his $20 billion lawsuit against it over a Kamala Harris “60 Minutes” interview from last year, which he claims was deceptively “doctored.”

“Defendants believe discovery is needed into President Trump’s personal financials, as well as the financials of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign organizations and of Trump Media & Technology Group, including with respect to Truth Social and the $TRUMP meme crypto project,” wrote CBS lawyers in a joint proposed scheduling order filed Tuesday in the Northern District of Texas Amarillo Division, where Trump and Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, a Republican who previously served as Trump’s White House doctor, are suing the network for being “deceived and misled” by the October 2024 interview.

“Defendants further anticipate that discovery will be needed into President Trump’s legal relationship, if any, with the Donald J. Trump for President 2024 campaign and the Trump Media & Technology Group,” the scheduling order adds.

Trump’s lawsuit against CBS stems from two “60 Minutes” clips of Harris answering a question about the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East.

3. Great idea. I hope it happens.

I would enjoy seeing that information. Let’s see Dr Ronnie’s also.

4. Good luck

That will never happen.

[PatSeg]

5. Never indeed

He is totally above the law now and he will do whatever he wants. The only person he answers to is Putin and maybe Elon Musk.

6. Doesn't seem likely

If the trial got to the point that they needed to calculate damages, maybe that becomes relevant.

But if it ever gets close to that point - they’ll settle long before.

7. He's the Delay Master.

If he can't get rid of it another way, and I'm not sure he'll try since he loves a fight, he'll thwart them with unconscionable delays.
