Your Honor, she stopped fighting back, so I took that to mean she had finally consented.

they will try to create some media from it, but so what? Is there a bombshell in there? Even if they edited it, is it illegal to edit ?FCC Requests ‘60 Minutes’ Harris Interview Material as it Reviews Paramount-Skydance Merger
Government has asked for footage, transcript from the segment, which is subject of a lawsuit against CBS by President Trump
FCC Requests ‘60 Minutes’ Harris Interview Material as It Reviews Paramount-Skydance Merger
The government has asked for the footage and transcript from the segment, which is the subject of a lawsuit against CBS by President Trump, according to people familiar with the situation.www.wsj.com
“… CBS News said in a statement Friday that it is working to comply with the FCC’s request for the “full, unedited transcript and camera feeds from our interview with Vice President Harris which aired on October 7, 2024.”
Trump’s lawsuit against CBS, which seeks $10 billion in damages, alleges that the network committed election interference by editing portions of an interview with Harris, favoring her campaign for president. Trump claimed CBS aired one version of the interview in a segment on its Sunday morning news magazine show “Face the Nation” that wasn’t flattering to the vice president, and then another version in the full interview on that evening’s episode of “60 Minutes.”
CBS has said it aired a more succinct version of Harris’s interview on “60 Minutes.”
…
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has made it clear to Paramount executives that the agency’s review of its merger with Skydance will be tough and has said that bias accusations against Paramount’s CBS News are fair game for the agency. In a November Fox News interview, he cited a news-distortion complaint against CBS from the Center for American Rights as an element he would consider during the merger review.
The FCC has authority over the transaction because it would involve the transfer of broadcast television licenses held by CBS. …”
I know they don't wanna fight the president but seems like the court would be their friend.

Court would be their friend on the first amendment issues but the owner of CBS wants to sell and she needs government approval to close the deal. That is the only pressure point that really matters.
