Trump went on to claim that “Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars.”

The settlement was reached earlier this month, which includes "plaintiffs’ fees and costs,” and will be allocated to Trump’s future presidential library, rather than being paid to the commander-in-chief directly.
