Trump praises new CBS News chief during ’60 Minutes’ interview
Trump praised CBS News leadership and highlighted a $16 million settlement over a 2020 Kamala Harris interview in an unedited '60 Minutes' transcript released online.
- On Sunday, Donald Trump praised Bari Weiss and David Ellison during his '60 Minutes' interview with Norah O'Donnell, but key praise was edited out of the televised broadcast and published online.
- Trump sued CBS News last year alleging deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview, and Paramount settled the complaint for $16 million amid talks on an $8.4 billion merger.
- The extended, unaired material published online showed Trump boasting about extracting millions from '60 Minutes', with the interview recorded nearly 90 minutes but televised only 28 minutes.
- CBS staffers told The Independent omitting Trump’s settlement remarks was 'f***ing reckless' as Bill Owens, '60 Minutes' executive producer, resigned amid corporate interference claims.
- Amid newsroom upheaval at CBS News, reactions on X split between MAGA loyalists praising Trump and critics noting selective edits and a perceived rightward shift under David Ellison, while observers say Trump will likely return to '60 Minutes'.
