"In his first "60 Minutes" interview in five years, President Donald Trump misled about his administration's deportation strategy and his record on grocery prices. The nearly 90-minute interview came a year after he successfully sued CBS' parent company over its editing of a Kamala Harris interview, netting a $16 million settlement. The network broadcast an edited 28-minute version of the Trump interview that covered trade with China, nuclear weapons testing and the federal government shutdown."
"When asked about his plan to end the shutdown, Trump rejected possible negotiations with Democrats over expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies and said Republicans will "keep voting" on continuing resolutions that have failed in the Senate. When "60 Minutes" contributing correspondent Norah O'Donnell asked Trump about his administration's immigration enforcement tactics - referring to agents tackling a mother, releasing tear gas in Chicago neighborhoods and smashing car windows - Trump was unapologetic. He said the raids "haven't gone far enough.""
"Said he did not instruct the Justice Department 'in any way, shape or form' to pursue his political enemies. Trump has publicly called on Justice Department officials to prosecute people he perceives as political enemies. In a Sept. 20 Truth Social post, he asked Pam Bondi, his attorney general, to take action against former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General"
