⁍ The White House on Thursday released raw footage from an interview that U.S. President Donald Trump did with ’60 Minutes’ reporter Lesley Stahl.
⁍ The footage shows Stahl, a veteran journalist who has interviewed Trump twice before, asking direct questions and refuting some of Trump’s answers.
⁍ The interview, which took place on Tuesday, will air on Sunday on ’60 Minutes,’ alongside interviews with Biden, his running mate Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence.
– “Look at the bias, hatred, and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS,” President Trump tweeted Thursday. Reuters reports the president released raw footage from an interview he gave to CBS’ 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl on Tuesday, breaking an agreement to keep the interview private until an edited version airs on Sunday. Stahl has interviewed Trump twice before, and she asked tough questions of the president on issues including health care and the government’s response to the Pandemic. The interview will air alongside interviews with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Mike Pence. CBS News called Trump’s move “unprecedented” and said it would not delay the show “from providing its full, fair, and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades.”
