"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer mocked President Donald Trump by floating a FCC complaint against CBS' 60 Minutes for editing the president's unhinged sit-down on Sunday. Trump taped more than 70 minutes with journalist Norah O'Donnell at Mar-a-Lago for Sunday's broadcast, but viewers only saw roughly 30 minutes of that footage. CBS has posted both the broadcast version and the full interview on YouTube, as well as a full transcript of the interview."
"Early Monday, Schumer leapt at the chance to jab at Trump on the edits, taking to X to mockingly threaten that he'd use the exact same language as the president's Harris suit. Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview. It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris."
"Despite settling with the president, CBS insisted its Harris edit was not doctored or deceitful, corporate parent Paramount paid the former president $16 million, a check that landed just before regulators approved Paramount's merger with Skydance Media. Throughout his Sunday interview with O'Donnell, Trump himself openly gloated that the network had settled with him on the Harris lawsuit and winked openly throughout by approving certain comments be edited out while he answered questions."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested filing an FCC complaint over CBS' editing of President Donald Trump's 60 Minutes sit-down. Trump recorded over 70 minutes with Norah O'Donnell at Mar-a-Lago, while the broadcast included roughly 30 minutes; CBS posted the full interview and transcript online. CBS previously settled with Trump after he accused the network of deceptively editing its October 2024 interview with Kamala Harris, with Paramount paying $16 million prior to a merger approval. Schumer said he would use the same language Trump used in the Harris suit, and Trump referenced the settlement during the interview.
