CBS to Hand Over Transcript of Kamala Harris’s ‘60 Minutes’ Interview to FCC
Published On Jan 31, 2025, 4:16 PM
CBS News is complying with a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) request to provide the unedited transcript and camera feeds of a '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. This follows a $10 billion lawsuit filed by former President Trump, who claims the network edited the interview in a way that favored Harris. CBS, owned by Paramount, is in discussions to settle the lawsuit, which could be beneficial for an upcoming merger.
