(WBAP/KLIF) – President Trump made good on a promise on Thursday to release footage of his interview with CBS’ 60-Minutes Reporter Lesley Stahl ahead of the interview’s air time.
“I will soon be giving a first in television history full, unedited preview of the vicious attempted takeout interview of me by Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes,” the President Tweeted early Thursday morning. “Watch her constant interruptions and anger. Compare my full, flowing and “magnificently brilliant” answers to their Q’s.”
Hours later the President posted a video of the interview taken from inside the White House.

Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS. Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA https://t.co/ETDJzMQg8X

CBS claims the President violated an interview agreement.
The network released the below statement:
The White House’s unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter 60 Minutes from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades.
60 Minutes, the most-watched news program on television, is widely respected for bringing its hallmark fairness, deep reporting and informative context to viewers each week. Few journalists have the presidential interview experience Lesley Stahl has delivered over her decades as one of the premier correspondents in America and we look forward to audiences seeing her third interview with President Trump and subsequent interview with Vice President Pence this weekend.
