Donald Trump's campaign published a scathing statement in response to a challenging "60 minutes" Comment on her controversial edition of her interview with Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this month, saying that the program had essentially admitted having made it sound better and asked the CBS program to set a complete transcription of the interview.

President Trump and others were not satisfied with the “60 minutes” of CBS News about the controversial edition of his interview with the then Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump sued the news network In October 2024, claiming “misleading behavior” in how the interview with Harris produced just before the presidential elections. The then qualified candidate had accused the exchange network of the exchange that Harris had with the “60 minutes” correspondent, Bill Whitaker at that time.

According to Trump and his legal team, a longer and more winding response that Harris gave Whitaker during a promotional clip for the interview, seemed to be edited for a more crisp and more condensed response when the interview was issued during stellar schedule.

The Trump team demanded that CBS News publish the complete transcription of the interview that month, although the network refused, citing the first amendment. The network insisted That “the interview was not manipulated” and that the program “did not hide any part of the vice president’s response to the question in question.”

The refusal led Trump to demand for damages in a Federal Court in Texas. The lawyers of the then candidate said that the demand is produced in response to the “acts of the elections and the interference of the voters of the network through the distortion of malicious, misleading and substantial news calculated to confuse, deceive and deceive the public “

The FCC Democratic commissioner, Anna Gómez, criticized her agency for presenting the investigation this week. The New York Times cited it, stating: “Let’s be clear, this is a government reprisal movement against the issuers whose content or coverage is perceived as unfavorable. It is designed to instill fear in transmission stations and influence editorial decisions of a network “

CBS and Paramount Reps did not immediately respond to the Fox News Digital application for any additional comments.
