to the Federal Communications Commission, part of President Donald Trump ’s ongoing fight with the network over how it handled a story about his opponent.Former Vice President Kamala Harris is interviewed on CBS “ 60 Minutes ” while in the middle of her presidential campaign.The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump’s appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission.
The Harris interview initially drew attention because CBS News showed Harris giving completely different responses to a question posed by correspondent Bill Whitaker in clips that were aired on “Face the Nation” on Oct. 6 and the next night on “60 Minutes.” The network has not commented on talks about a potential settlement, reported by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.ABC News in December settled a defamation lawsuit by Trump over statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos, agreeing to pay $15 million toward Trump’s presidential library rather than engage in a public fight.
