CBS Defends Editing of Kamala Harris Interview Against Trump Lawsuit Threat

CBS News cites First Amendment rights in response to Trump's demand for the unedited '60 Minutes' transcript, rejecting claims of deceptive editing.

CBS News refused to release the unedited transcript of Kamala Harris' '60 Minutes' interview, citing First Amendment protections.
Former President Trump accused CBS of editing the interview to favor Harris, demanding the full transcript and threatening legal action.
CBS stated the interview was edited for time constraints, not to mislead viewers, and denied any wrongdoing.
The controversy arose after CBS aired different segments of Harris' response to a question about U.S.-Israel relations on separate programs.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr and a legal watchdog group have called for CBS to release the full transcript to address concerns of news distortion.
