‘60 Minutes’ Says Donald Trump’s Campaign Gave “Shifting Explanations” For Backing Out Of Election Special; Show Airs With Kamala Harris Sit-Down
60 Minutes went ahead with its election special Monday night featuring interviews with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, but none from Donald Trump and Jd Vance.
According to the show, Trump backed out of the interview last week. Trump’s campaign claimed that it was never officially set.
But at the start of tonight’s broadcast, Scott Pelley told viewers that Trump was to have done the interview on Thursday at Mar-a-Lago, and that the show had agreed to meet Trump at his Butler, Pa rally, which happened over the weekend. He also said that Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, sent a text that read, “I’m working without advance team to see logistically if Butler would work, in addition to the sit-down.”
“Days later, Cheung called to say, ‘The president said, ‘Yes.'”
Then the Trump campaign backed out a week ago, Pelley said, and offered “shifting explanations.
