On a Sunday evening post on Truth Social, Trump called for the network to lose their license due to his claims of
repeated instances of bias

‘CBS has gone completely unchecked, reaching unprecedented heights, and they ought to face significant consequences for their actions. LET’S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’

Trump also touched upon his
$20 billion lawsuit against
60 Minutes for how it edited an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris last fall.
