- She made the comments on "The View" with Ana Navarro
- O'Donnell also predicted Trump won't finish his term by 2028

## Summary

Rosie O'Donnell has accused CBS of effectively bribing Donald Trump by settling his lawsuit over a "60 Minutes" interview, calling the deal a "capitulation" to the US president. The comedian made the remarks on "The View" alongside co-host Ana Navarro, adding to a wider row over how mainstream broadcasters have responded to legal and political pressure from the Trump administration.

Trump had sued CBS over its editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with then-vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and the network's parent company reached a settlement with him, a move critics such as O'Donnell say sets a troubling precedent for press independence. O'Donnell, who has been a vocal Trump critic, also used the appearance to predict he would not complete his term, saying he "won't make it to 2028."
