As the Trump administration ramps up its efforts to control narratives, targeting universities, law firms, and even entire media outlets, the free press may soon face even greater threats. Former President Trump has already launched multiple lawsuits against major networks like ABC and CBS, including a staggering $20 billion suit tied to a *60 Minutes* interview with Kamala Harris.
