Trump threatens ‘possible litigation’ against CBS News in letter demanding unedited transcript of Harris’ ‘60 Minutes’ interview
SUMMARY
President Donald Trump has threatened to sue CBS News over its editing of Vice President Kamala Harris's interview on "60 Minutes." In a letter from Trump’s attorney, Edward Paltzik, the network is accused of airing a "doctored" version of the interview to mislead voters ahead of the presidential election. The letter demands the preservation of all communications related to the interview and calls for the immediate release of a full, unedited transcript, stating, “We demand that you preserve all communications and documents relating to this interview... and that you refrain from destroying any relevant communications or documents.” The controversy arose after "60 Minutes" acknowledged it aired a different, more succinct portion of Harris's response about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared to an earlier clip shown on "Face the Nation." The letter claims, “CBS and its ’60 Minutes’ producers intentionally misled the public by broadcasting a skillfully edited Interview transcript."
