Former "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft and Jon Stewart criticized Paramount's settlement with Trump, calling it a "shakedown" linked to merger plans.

Steve Kroft doesn't work for "60 Minutes" any more, but he had some strong feelings about his former employer's $16 million settlement with Donald Trump when he joined Jon Stewart Monday night on "The Daily Show" – which also falls under the Paramount umbrella.

Jon Stewart questioned the reason behind the "shameful" deal between the president and Comedy Central's parent company Paramount Global when he returned to 'The Daily Show' on Monday.
