CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon quits as potential Trump lawsuit settlement looms

Quick Summary:

McMahon has made clear she opposes settling with Trump — just like "60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens, who quit last month.

CBS News is also trying to establish the new anchor team of John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois at its flagship “CBS Evening News” broadcast amid ratings troubles.

CBS' parent company, Paramount Global, is in talks to potentially settle Trump's lawsuit.
