'60 Minutes' reveals editing process with Trump interview

CBS aired less than half of Norah O’Donnell’s 73-minute “60 Minutes” interview with President Donald Trump, but posted the full video and transcript online, offering a rare view of how the broadcast was edited. The on-air segment emphasized shutdown politics and added fact-checks, while omitting several confrontational or tangential moments, including Trump calling Chuck Schumer a “kamikaze,” telling O’Donnell she “should be ashamed,” and asking if she felt safer in Washington. The release spurred debate over transparency, recalling CBS’ delayed Harris transcript, and drew mixed reactions from media critics and political figures.
