“[The lawsuit] has absolutely no merit and it cannot stand,” Sanders and his allies wrote in the letter to Paramount’s controlling shareholder.

According to FOX News, attorneys for Trump and Paramount Global entered mediation last week. If mediation succeeds, they could reach an out-of-court settlement, despite most legal experts saying that Trump’s lawsuit holds little merit. Some politicians, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have suggested that any settlement offered by Paramount is tantamount to court-sanctioned bribery.

In a statement, Sanders, Warren, and other congresspeople made a direct plea to Paramount Global controlling shareholder Shari Redstone, telling her that settling Trump’s lawsuit would be a “grave mistake” with far-reaching consequences for media freedom.

“Rewarding Trump with tens of millions of dollars for filing this bogus lawsuit will not cause him to back down on his war against the media and a free press,” they said. ‘It will only embolden him to shakedown, extort and silence CBS and other media outlets that have the courage to report about issues that Trump may not like.”

“Stand up for freedom of the press and our democracy,” the letter said.
