Paramount (PARA) executives have held internal discussions about settling a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump over a CBS News interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, people familiar with the situation told The Wall Street Journal’s Jessica Toonkel and Drew FitzGerald.

The sources add that the companies believe they’ll likely need to offer concessions to win approval.
