May 19 (UPI) -- CBS News President Wendy McMahon announced Monday her resignation as network head amid an ongoing lawsuit with the network filed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"It's become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward," McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures, wrote in a memo to staff.
"It's time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership," she said, calling the past few months "challenging."
The resignation comes only weeks after Bill Owens, an executive producer of CBS's 60 Minutes, likewise quit the network over similar issues with parent company Paramount.
