Overview

  • President Donald Trump sat down with Norah O’Donnell in Florida on Friday for a 60 Minutes interview, a network spokesperson confirmed.
  • It is his first appearance on CBS since he sued over the editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview and declined to join last year’s election special.
  • Paramount Global resolved Trump’s lawsuit with a $16 million payment in July, as Skydance sought federal approval to acquire the company.
  • Following David Ellison’s takeover, CBS named Bari Weiss editor in chief of CBS News and appointed Kenneth Weinstein as ombudsman.
  • CBS announced policy changes including releasing full transcripts of future presidential interviews and airing unedited interviews on its Sunday program, while 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens resigned citing limits on independence.
