White House Threatens CBS Over Unedited Trump Interview
Karoline Leavitt warned CBS News to air Donald Trump’s interview unedited or face legal action, a threat captured in audio after CBS’s Tony Dokoupil interview; CBS aired the full unedited segment later that day. The piece sits amid broader tensions over CBS’s editing practices and independence under Bari Weiss, including Paramount Skydance’s $16 million settlement with Trump over editing of a Harris interview for 60 Minutes.
