Overview
- CBS says Norah O’Donnell interviewed President Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday for a 60 Minutes segment airing Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
- The appearance is Trump’s first on the network since Paramount agreed in July to pay $16 million to resolve his suit over editing of a Kamala Harris interview, with the money directed to a future presidential library.
- Paramount said 60 Minutes will publish transcripts of future interviews with eligible presidential candidates after they air, with limited redactions and no apology included in the settlement.
- The booking follows corporate changes under new Paramount leadership, including David Ellison’s Skydance takeover, Bari Weiss becoming CBS News editor-in-chief, and Kenneth Weinstein’s viewer-advocate role.
- CBS previewed discussion topics including China, Venezuela, Israel, the government shutdown, immigration, and Trump’s efforts to deploy the National Guard.
