"The US president appeared on the news show for the first time since 2020, when he walked out during an interview. US President Donald Trump has appeared on the CBS News programme 60 Minutes just months after he won a $16m settlement from the broadcaster for alleged deceptive editing. In the interview with CBS host Norah O'Donnell, which was filmed last Friday at his Mar-a-Lago residence and aired on Sunday, Trump touched on several topics,"
"including the ongoing government shutdown, his administration's unprecedented crackdowns on undocumented migrants, the US's decision to restart nuclear testing, and the trade war with China. Trump, who regularly appears on Fox News, a right-wing media outlet, has an uneasy relationship with CBS, which is considered centrist. In October 2020, the president walked out of a 60 Minutes interview in the lead-up to the 2020 election he lost, claiming that the host, Lesley Stahl, was biased."
"Here are some key takeaways from the interview: The president's lawyers sued CBS owner Paramount in October 2024 for mental anguish over a pre-election interview with rival candidate Kamala Harris that Trump claimed had been deceptively edited to favour Democrats and thus affected his campaign. CBS had aired two different versions of an answer Harris gave to a question on Israel's war on Gaza, posed by host Bill Whitaker."

His lawyers sued CBS owner Paramount in October 2024 for alleged deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview answer on Israel and claimed alternate edits affected his campaign; CBS cited time restrictions.
