CBS News criticized the White House for releasing
Trump’s “60 Minutes” interview before its broadcast, but the network made clear
that it would still release the president’s interview on Sunday with the
program’s “full, fair and contextual reporting.”
“The White House’s unprecedented decision to disregard
their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter 60
Minutes from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents
have participated in for decades,” CBS said in a statement.
The network
also applauded “60 Minutes” correspondent Leslie Stahl, who interviewed the
president and Vice President Mike Pence.
“Few
journalists have the presidential interview experience Lesley Stahl has
delivered over her decades as one of the premier correspondents in America, and
we look forward to audiences seeing her third interview with President Trump
and subsequent interview with Vice President Pence this weekend,” CBS said.
Trump posts 60 Minutes interview
Donald
Trump has posted a video of his interview with CBS journalist Leslie Stahl,
recorded for the news show 60 Minutes.
The
president had threatened to post the video this week, after it was reported he
had abruptly ended the 60 Minutes interview “because he was frustrated with
Stahl’s line of questioning”.
The video
was posted to Trump’s Facebook page at 11.20am, under the line: “Look at the
bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS.”
Trump
added: “Tonight’s [presidential debate] anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse!”
Trump had
apparently been upset by the tone of the interview. The start of the video
shows Trump asking Stahl for “fairness”.
Stahl tells
Trump he will get fairness. She asks: “You’re ok with some tough questions?”
Trump
replies: “No I’m not.”
“You’re not
ok with tough questions?” a laughing Stahl asks.
Trump says:
“I want it to be fair. You don’t ask Biden tough questions.”
