CBS Posts Full Transcript, Video of Trump Interview with '60 Minutes,' Prompting Outcry over Edits Left on Cutting Room Floor

On Sunday, President Donald Trump allowed CBS News to edit his 60 Minutes interview, removing flubbed comments and airing a 28-minute segment while posting a 73-minute extended cut online.
The move follows a prior dispute in which CBS settled over its Harris interview, delaying the Harris interview transcript for months amid heightened scrutiny of CBS News's editing.
Trump discussed pardoning Changpeng Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, but neither the broadcast nor extended videos included his full answer from last week.
CBS posted the full 73-minute transcript and video online, while critics like Tim Miller claimed notable parts were omitted, and some threatened legal action.
Journalists and former producers warned that letting interviewees shape edits risks audience trust, as Tom Bettag urged transparency, while Brian Stelter and Rick Ellis highlighted how newsrooms prioritize the 'newsiest' content over rant-filled parts.
