Trump Mulls Suing CBS News for Uncut Tapes of Harris’s 60 Minutes Interview

Former President Donald Trump said on Oct. 18 that he will consider taking legal action against CBS News for allegedly editing Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s answers in an interview on “60 Minutes.”
“We want them to release the tapes now. So I think I’m going to sue them actually. I think so,” he stated. “They can’t defend it, and if they do, and even if they win, it’s going to be very embarrassing.”
“They took the answer out and put a new answer in,” Trump said, adding that the network should have its license revoked.
On Oct. 6, the news outlet posted a teaser clip of the interview showing “60 Minutes” host Bill Whitaker asking Harris whether the U.S. government has any influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Democratic presidential nominee responded with a lengthy answer explaining the United States’ ongoing diplomatic efforts to engage with Israeli leadership.
But in the full interview aired on Oct. 7, the vice president’s response appeared differently: “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
“Could it be because it was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, or that they ‘CREATED’ many additional new answers for her, not just the one where she was so embarrassingly CAUGHT,” he wrote.
