President Trump tees off on ‘60 Minutes’ again, threatens CBS broadcast licenses

The CBS newsmagazine “60 Minutes” is not going easy on President Trump and the commander in chief is noticing. President Trump went after the program in a social media post after seeing two critical stories regarding his handling of the Russia-Ukraine war and his proposal to annex Greenland. “Almost every week, 60 Minutes, which is being sued for Billions of Dollars for the fraud they committed in the 2024 Presidential Election with their Interview of Failed Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris, mentions the name ‘TRUMP’ in a derogatory and defamatory way, but this Weekend’s ‘BROADCAST’ tops them all,” he wrote. President Trump sued CBS for $20 billion, claiming the edits of a “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Harris that aired in October amounted to election interference. First Amendment experts have called the case frivolous. Journalism organizations commonly edit interviews for brevity and clarity. Nevertheless, Trump has demanded “a lot” of money to settle the case. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has also launched an investigation of CBS News about the program.
