  The lawsuit has been neither dismissed nor settled.

  I never bothered to track down the interview but if he did what he's

 It was yet more (successful) bullshit by Trump.

 Are you trying to claim that CBS did not edit her terrible interview
 to make her sound better?

 
Sure, but that's not illegal so how does that give Trump any legal grounds
to sue them?

 
Election interference?

That's such a legal stretch that there's no way it overcomes CBS's 1st
Amendment rights.
