Trump sitting for ’60 Minutes’ interview
President Trump sat down with CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell on Friday for an interview that will air Sunday on “60 Minutes.”
The interview, which took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, will air Sunday at 7:30pm ET on Sunday.
The sit-down is the first time Trump has done an interview with the network since he sued CBS and its parent company Paramount Global over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris on “60 Minutes.” Trump claimed the network intentionally edited her answer to a question on the war in Gaza in an effort to make her sound more coherent. The network rejected that premise in court documents and public statements.
In July, Paramount Global agreed to pay $16 million, which will be paid to the president’s future presidential library and not Trump himself.
As part of the agreement, Paramount said “60 Minutes” will release transcripts of future interviews with eligible U.S. presidential candidates after they air, subject to redactions as required for legal or national security concerns.
The settlement did not include a statement of apology or regret.
CBS has faced a tumultuous period in recent months following its merger with Skydance, which required the approval from Trump-appointed officials on the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
