CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ Releases Full Trump Interview Following Editing Criticism
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged the FCC to investigate CBS over its edited Trump interview, citing a $16 million settlement linked to a prior lawsuit over Kamala Harris coverage.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump returned to 60 Minutes for his first interview in five years after a Friday sit-down at Mar-a-Lago, with CBS airing a 28-minute segment and posting the full 73-minute video and transcript online.
- Last year, Donald Trump sued CBS News over its 60 Minutes edit of Kamala Harris's interview, and Paramount Global paid $16 million to settle as it sought FCC approval for its Skydance merger.
- CBS's full transcript exposed extended moments cut from the broadcast, revealing President Trump criticizing Joe Biden and praising the Ellison family and Bari Weiss, including his line that `60 Minutes paid me a lot of money`.
- The exchange escalated into a partisan standoff over whether the FCC should investigate edits, with Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, posting on X about filing a complaint and Brendan Carr, FCC Chair, citing the Schumer Shutdown and lack of manpower to process it.
- CBS's decision to publish full outtakes gave a rare look inside editorial norms, contrasting with its delayed transcript release for Kamala Harris and intensifying debate about newsroom transparency.
