"In Monday's newsletter, I gave O'Donnell a decent review for the near-impossible task of sitting down with a president who often lies, misleads, ignores questions, tries to intimidate and talks over his host. O'Donnell hit most of the pertinent topics of the moment, most notably the government shutdown, the economy, immigration raids and Venezuela, among other international affairs. She pushed back when she could, and followed up when Trump did not directly answer some questions."
"Last Friday at Mar-a-Lago, Trump was interviewed by Norah O'Donnell for about 73 minutes. Approximately 27 minutes of that interview aired on Sunday night's "60 Minutes," while the entire interview was posted online, along with a transcript. Trump didn't walk away this time, although he threatened to at one point. Still, there was plenty of news, and lots to talk about - including parts that weren't aired on the broadcast."
President Donald Trump sat for a roughly 73-minute interview with Norah O'Donnell at Mar-a-Lago, with about 27 minutes airing on "60 Minutes" and the full interview and transcript posted online. Trump did not walk out as he had in 2020, though he threatened to leave at one point. O'Donnell addressed key topics including the government shutdown, the economy, immigration raids and Venezuela, and followed up when answers were incomplete. The interview prompted reader feedback and commentary, with some critics saying O'Donnell failed to sufficiently interrupt or correct falsehoods and others noting omitted questions such as Jeffrey Epstein.
