A former Donald Trump insider on Saturday flagged what he says is "bigger than a lawsuit" news about the president.
Author and former Trump associate Lev Parnas, who earlier in the day accused Trump of causing a "massacre" that took the lives of many people, published a post called, "Shhh… Behind Closed Doors, Trump Is Dismantling Free Speech."
"You’re not going to hear this on CNN. You’re not going to read this on the front page of The New York Times. And you definitely won’t find it on 60 Minutes. But let me break it down for you, because what’s happening right now is bigger than a lawsuit — this is an all-out war on the First Amendment," he wrote.

The ex-insider then flagged the news:
"Trump is suing Paramount for $20 billion, accusing 60 Minutes of deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris to damage his 2024 campaign. That’s right — the guy who bragged about grabbing women and incited an insurrection is now claiming he’s the victim of a 'hit piece.' And here’s where it gets even more dangerous: Paramount is reportedly considering settling," Parnas wrote. "But the Freedom of the Press Foundation just blew the lid off what could be a backdoor deal with massive consequences. They sent a scathing legal letter to Paramount chief Shari Redstone demanding document preservation and warning that any payout to Trump might constitute a 'bribe' — a quid pro quo to secure Trump’s blessing for a pending Hollywood merger."
He then added, "You read that right: A potential billion-dollar media merger could hinge on Trump’s personal approval."
Parnas also reports, "Behind the scenes, he is quietly but aggressively working to dismantle the free press. Any outlet, any journalist, any creator who speaks up or dares to challenge him becomes a target."
