After Donald Trump‘s continued attacks, 60 Minutes issued a statement today in which pushed back on the former president’s claim that its interview with Kamala Harris was deceitfully edited.
Trump has continuously blasted the show and CBS, even calling for the network’s broadcast license to be revoked, after an answer that Harris gave to a question was different from the one that appeared on the show.
In a statement, the show said, “Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.”
“60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.

The show added, “Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated. Our long-standing invitation to former President Trump remains open. If he would like to discuss the issues facing the nation and the Harris interview, we would be happy to have him on 60 Minutes.”
