Dems float FCC probe of "60 Minutes" trimming Trump interview

CBS News omitted a portion of President Trump's "60 Minutes" interview regarding concerns about corruption in his family's crypto dealings. The omitted section featured a question from Norah O'Donnell about the appearance of corruption, along with Trump's hesitant response. The extended version of the interview, while longer than the broadcast, still lacked this exchange. Trump's comment about being the leader in crypto and not wanting China to take over was also cut. This exclusion has sparked debate, particularly given Trump's past FCC chair's stance on "news distortion". Critics like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggest filing a complaint with the FCC. The White House claims that Trump gave a "powerhouse interview" covering many topics. CBS agreed to release future transcripts after a lawsuit settlement, but without apology. The network has yet to respond to requests for comments about the omitted portion. The context of Trump's past lawsuit against CBS adds further weight to the situation.
