"Over the past months, it has also become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it. To make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience."
During a special Monday episode of 60 Minutes, correspondent Bill Whitaker pressed Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz on his misleading claims regarding his military history and travels, questioning his trustworthiness. Whitaker highlighted Walz's past inaccuracies, including his assertion about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square unrest, to emphasize how such misleading statements impact a politician's integrity. Walz admitted to occasionally being a 'knucklehead' but insisted that he can be trusted to tell the truth.
