Overview
- 60 Minutes aired Lesley Stahl’s interview on Sunday with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has said she will resign, in which she said Trump betrayed his “America First” promises and claimed Republicans fear his reprisals.
- Trump posted on Truth Social Monday that the show’s new ownership is “no better” than the previous regime and asserted the program has “gotten worse.”
- He demanded a “complete and total apology” from Stahl for her 2020 comments questioning verification of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
- Paramount Skydance the same day announced a $108 billion hostile cash offer at $30 per share for Warner Bros. Discovery, with financing that includes Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners.
- Paramount Skydance was created in August after Skydance took control in an $8.4 billion deal approved by the FCC in July, and Paramount previously paid $16 million to settle Trump’s 2024 lawsuit over a 60 Minutes segment.
