Attorneys for CBS on Friday asked a federal judge in Texas to dismiss the deceptive trade practices lawsuit filed against the mainstay American broadcaster by President-elect Donald Trump over an edited “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump filed the 19-page lawsuit on Halloween, claiming the aired footage was deceptively “doctored” to “confuse, deceive, and mislead the public” and to “tip the scales” in favor of Democrats in what amounted to “election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.”

In the 33-page motion to dismiss, CBS says there is no longer “any live case or controversy” because Trump won the November presidential election. And, the motion claims, Trump never alleged facts sufficient under Lone Star State law to support the litigation anyway.
