FILE - In this May 15, 2013, file photo, Scott Pelley attends the CBS Upfront in New York. Pelley is out as " CBS Evening News" anchor, and he'll be returning to full-time work at the network's flagship newsmagazine " 60 Minutes ." Two people familiar with the situation on Wednesday, May 31, 2017, confirmed the reports.

President Trump filed a lawsuit against Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that was edited, while she was running for President against him. The President is asking for $25 million and an apology from the network. Meanwhile Pelley appeared disappointed about not having public support from his company.

"You really wish the company was behind you 100%, right? You really wish the top echelons of the company would come out publicly and say '60 Minutes', for example, is a crown jewel of American journalism, and we stand behind it 100%. I haven‘t heard that. On the other hand, my work is getting on the air, and I have not had anyone outside ‘60 Minutes’ put their thumb on the scale and say, ‘you can‘t say that.
