Gold prices bounce off 3-week lows; demand likely longer term
Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump has again accused CBS, Paramount, and 60 Minutes of committing fraud during the election period. In a post on his Truth Social media platform, he claimed that the media entities cheated and defrauded the American people in unprecedented ways within the political arena.
According to Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris gave an answer during early voting and immediately before Election Day that he deemed incompetent. He suggested that this answer could have negatively impacted her vote count. However, he alleges that 60 Minutes and its corporate parents removed and deleted Harris’s entire response, replacing it with an answer she gave to a different question later.
Trump claimed that the new answer was not good, but it didn’t show gross incompetence like the one that was removed by 60 Minutes. He accused 60 Minutes of perpetrating a giant fraud against the American People, the Federal Elections Commission, and the Federal Communications System.
Despite these allegations, Trump stated that the New York Times (NYSE:NYT), which he referred to as "Fake News", claimed that people said the case is baseless. He accused the Times of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome", possibly to the point where their interjection makes them liable for tortious interference, including in elections.
Trump concluded his post by emphasizing the importance of holding these entities accountable. He stated that what 60 Minutes and its corporate owners have done is one of the most egregious illegalities in broadcast history. He claimed that nothing like this, the illegal creation of an answer for a presidential candidate, has ever been done before. He suggested that they should pay a price for it, and the Times should also be held accountable for their likely unlawful behavior.
