If you watched the interview on TV, you might have missed that particular bit because (weird!) it didn’t get aired. Nor did the bit where Trump said the network’s new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, who according to the FT was picked by David Ellison for her pro-Israel views, was a “great new leader”. Nor did a bit where Trump boasted how “60 Minutes paid me a lotta money,” while referencing his $16m settlement from Paramount for what he called a “deceptively” edited interview with Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes in 2024. Also not fully aired on the TV broadcast: a segment in which the president claimed he didn’t know a crypto tycoon who went to prison for breaching money laundering laws, despite the fact that Trump pardoned him. That bit, along with all the others, did appear in the full text transcript published online.
