President Trump knew full well that 60 Minutes was going to manipulate the video and release their version of a twisted one-sided interview. So the president beat them to it and released 37 minutes of uncut footage from the interview. CBS slammed the decision in a press release:
“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,” the network said in a released statement. ” 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.”
When the President pressed the Hunter Biden scandal and questioned Stahl as to her lack of interest in this major blockbuster story, Stahl replied: “Well because it can’t be verified,” Stahl says. “I’m telling you—”
“Of course it can be verified,” Trump interjects. “Excuse me, Leslie, they found a laptop—” “It can’t be verified,” Stahl repeats.
How rich…. “Can’t be verified”… Malcolm will take it from here….
