'Snowflake' Trump Mercilessly Mocked As His Newest Legal Claim Backfires Spectacularly
President Donald Trump's critics are seizing on two words in his latest legal filing: 'mental anguish.'
The president is suing CBS News over a '60 Minutes' interview last year with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump claims the network made 'deceptive' edits and accused it of 'voter interference.'
In new court documents filed this week, Trump's attorneys claimed the interview 'led to widespread confusion and mental anguish of consumers, including plaintiffs.'
Trump and Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.) are the only plaintiffs listed in the filing.
Trump reportedly turned down a $15 million settlement offer from Paramount Global, which owns CBS News.
He is seeking $20 billion.
Trump's critics mocked the president for claiming he suffered 'mental anguish' from watching a TV show:

Family of Sarah Milgrim speaks out in first network TV interview since fatal D.C. Jewish museum shooting: "Sarah molded us"
The family of Sarah Milgrim, one of the two Israeli Embassy staffers who was shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., last month, is remembering her as courageous, strong and striving for peace. Milgrim's parents, Robert and Nancy, and her older brother, Jacob, spoke to CBS News' Jonah Kaplan for their first network TV interview since the shooting about how they're processing their grief, Sarah's mission to promote peace in the Middle East and the rise in antisemitism in the United States. "Usually, a parent tries to mold their child. Sarah molded us," Robert Milgrim said. "She was a stronger person than I ever was." "I told Nancy after this happened that I'm a different person now than before this happened, from learning so much about what Sarah did and her courage and her striving for peace," he said. Wednesday marks two weeks since Milgrim and her boyfriend, Yaron Lischinsky, who also worked for the Israeli Embassy, were shot and killed as they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum. Law enforcement officials described the attack as "targeted" and said the suspect shouted "Free Palestine" as he was being detained. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and other crimes. The interview with the Milgrim family airs Wednesday on "CBS Mornings" and "CBS Evening News."

Where's Marty McFly's guitar? Search is on for 'Back to the Future' prop 4 decades later
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Marty McFly grabbed a guitar in 'Back to the Future' and rocked out with the band at a 1950s high school dance, helping him narrowly avoid blinking out of existence before time-traveling back to the 1980s. The guitar, in real life, wasn't as lucky. Filmmakers went looking for the instrument while making the movie's 1989 sequel, but even now it's nowhere to be found. Four decades after the blockbuster film debuted, the guitar's creator has launched a search for the iconic Cherry Red Gibson ES-345.

Teens arrested in Baltimore with multiple guns, ammo, device to create fully automatic weapons
While Baltimore is seeing record-low homicides, the city is dealing with persistent juvenile crime concerns. Four teenagers were arrested with multiple guns over the weekend. Police said the teens also had a device that turns a semiautomatic weapon into a fully automatic firearm. Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley spoke to WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren about the department's successes and challenges ahead of a pivotal budget hearing Tuesday night. "If you don't put the guns down, we're going to come in," Worley said. "We're going to do an investigation. We're going to indict people. We're going to turn it over to the state's attorney or U.S. attorney or attorney general, and they're going to prosecute you." Four teens arrested From her front porch, Katherine Davis can see the 800 block of North Curley Street where police say four teenagers — ages 16, 17, 18 and 19— were taken into custody Sunday and found with five weapons and ammunition. Their cache included extended magazines and an auto-sear device that makes weapons fully automatic. Commissioner Worley said it can be made using a 3D printer. While Baltimore is seeing record-low homicides, the city is dealing with persistent juvenile crime concerns—including four teenagers arrested with multiple guns over the weekend. Baltimore Police Juvenile crime concerns "We come up with who is driving the violence, who is doing the shooting. All of the wraparound services are offered to them," Commissioner Richard Worley said. Worley told WJZ Investigates all categories of crime are down except shoplifting and said a small number of juveniles are causing the problems. "We had a 13-year-old over the weekend, we caught with a handgun in Cherry Hill," Worley said. "It's just incredible that these kids aren't learning, so there's got to be some discipline for the ones who continue to commit crimes." Last week, WJZ obtained video of what the business owner believes are young people breaking into a Southeast Baltimore restaurant. The week prior, police say a 15-year-old repeat offender on electronic monitoring robbed a 12-year-old at gunpoint and kidnapped him. Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates mentioned that incident in an op-ed published Tuesday, where he wrote, "…We need a system that first and foremost holds juvenile offenders accountable for their actions. This does not include continuing to release these repeat offenders back into the community… ." Worley told WJZ, "We can't continue to put them out there because what's going to happen, we're going to have a tragic event with one of these young people trying to commit a crime and someone who has an open carry permit or whatever it is, they're going to end up getting shot." Record-low homicides The city is seeing success in bringing down the overall number of shootings, with 56 homicides year to date, down 24% from last year to the lowest number ever recorded. Non-fatal shootings are down 25% from 2024, with 128 year-to-date as of Tuesday morning. "We get judged by the one number, the homicide rate, and 56 is still too many for our city, so we want to continue to keep the foot on the pedal, the foot on the gas, and continue to drive down those numbers," Worley said. Metro Crime Stoppers recently publicized $8,000 rewards for several May homicides. "The mayor's office did a fabulous job with cutting down the number of ghost guns coming into the city," Worley said. "Before the lawsuit and the ban on selling in the city, a lot of ghost guns made their way into the city." Police staffing shortage The commissioner said while BPD is still down roughly 500 officers, they have added almost 50 in the past six months. He said he is confident the department can be at full, budgeted staffing levels within three to four years. Back in Southeast Baltimore, asked if she's feeling safer, Katherine Davis said, "I do because I don't bother anybody, nobody bothers me. …I sit on my porch and mind my business, and as long as they mind theirs, I'm good."
