CBS News' Scott Pelley said the Trump campaign offered “shifting explanations” for why it backed out of a planned interview the show aired on Monday. Pelley said the campaign objected to “60 Minutes” fact-checking Trump, even though “we fact-check every story.

As Israel plots to strike Iran, its choices range from symbolic to severeTampa Bay hasn’t been hit directly by a major hurricane since 1921.

Pelley said that the Trump campaign “complained that we would fact-check the interview. We fact-check every story.”, where he claimed that correspondent Lesley Stahl said a laptop computer belonging to President Joe Biden’s son Hunter came from Russia. “She never said that,” Pelley said. Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said “60 Minutes” “begged for an interview.” The campaign did have concerns about the show’s reporting on Hunter Biden and how it insisted upon editing Trump’s comments, he said.

Trump’s interview with Fox’s Laura Ingraham aired an hour before “60 Minutes” on Monday night. His absence from CBS was not mentioned in their exchange. Trump apparently, watched, however, posting on Truth Social that the Harris interview “is considered by many of those who reviewed it, the WORST interview they have ever seen.”
