CNN obtains copy of a portion of Imus’ contract…

During this evening’s Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper was on with a copy of the key clause in Don Imus’ contract (for backstory read this) . Cooper reported that CNN Legal Analyst Jeffery Toobin is reading over the clause and there will be more on this tonight on Anderson Cooper 360…

UPDATE: This from CNN…

Following a day of widespread speculation about Don Imus’s contract and what it may mean for a potential lawsuit, tonight’s Anderson Cooper 360 will feature the first look at an actual copy of a portion of Imus’s contract with CBS Radio, specifically the clause that could be at the heart of Imus’s case. CNN’s Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin provides analysis and suggests it is a very unusual provision – and one that may force CBS to pay Imus the $40 million remaining on his contract.

  4. #2 I know the contract was with CBS, but I still hope that MSNBC gets it too. They have lost a lot of viewers and I hope it keeps on coming….
