CBS News rebuffs Trump’s legal threat over ‘60 Minutes’ interview

Oct 24

CBS News is rejecting a legal threat from former President Donald Trump regarding a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, stating his demands are based on a faulty premise. CBS News argues that the First Amendment protects their editorial decisions, noting Trump lacks legal grounds to sue.

CBS maintains that providing the unedited interview transcript would set a precedent allowing politicians to intimidate news organizations.

This is the second time the former president and the show have been at odds. In 2020, Trump cut an interview short with journalist Lesley Stahl.
