“Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sued CBS on Thursday over an interview of his Democratic rival Kamala Harris aired in early October that the lawsuit alleged was "doctored" and misleading, according to a court filing.

The filing was made in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

… The suit demanded a jury trial and at least $10 billion in damages, the filing showed.“
 
The only thing I can possibly think of, is that they think this is a good play because it will bring the issue back into the news? I mean I'm at a loss for words.
 
Hahaha! This is laughable.
It’s like all those lawsuits he brought after the election in 2020.
Baseless. Down right frivolous. No leg on which to stand. “Jury trial”
Hahaha! Poor old Donald… he’s been losing in the courtrooms left and right, and this will be another one.
 
Question for lawyers here. Can 60 minutes counter-sue and try to collect damages, etc.? Obviously, Trump knows how to use the court to his advantage. And, most likely, this is most likely meant to gin up support among his followers, and he has zero intent on really proceeding any further. Still, how can you punish someone who regularly uses the courts as a weapon, as opposed to using it for legitimate purposes?

“The media is biased! The media is biased!”

“The courts are biased! The courts are biased!”

That’s the purpose.

No, but they can collect attorney's fees if the court finds the filing was frivolous, either under Rule 11 or the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (the claim under which Trump is suing). If the Judge were anyone other than Kacsmaryk, that would be a likely result. With Kacsmaryk, Trump could potentially the win the case.

It is such an absurd way to game the system. Put a biased judge in a remote district and then file all cases in that district, knowing you will get that one specific judge.

Can the judge be impeached?
