The Hill’s Headlines — December 3, 2025
Rep. @jamie-raskin/(D-Md.) is demanding CBS and its parent company Paramount provide more information about how it edited @s/5586010-trump-interview-60-minutes/ with President Trump that aired on “60 Minutes” last month.
Raskin, in a letter to newly appointed CBS News ombudsperson Ken Weinstein that was shared exclusively with The Hill, blasted the network for what he said was the “improper influence President @donald-trump/wielded over CBS News’s editorial decisions” in recent weeks, including during the interview that aired Nov. 2
“President Trump increasingly appears to be exercising direct control over CBS’s editorial decisions, destroying CBS’s ‘journalistic integrity’ while violating its right to be free from governmental coercion and manipulation,” Raskin wrote.
The Democrat took specific issue with the network’s decision not to include a portion of Trump’s comments to journalist Norah O’Donnell in which he bragged about @s/paramount-60-minutes-trump-lawsuit-16-million-settlement/mlite/ Paramount paid his presidential foundation earlier this year.
The settlement was made to @s/media/5382044-paramount-trump-lawsuit-cbs-news-60-minutes-harris-interview-fcc-skydance-merger/ Trump brought against the company over its editing of @s/media/5120625-cbs-kamala-harris-60-minutes-transcript-fcc/ with former Vice President @kamala-harris/ahead of the 2024 election.
“And, actually, ’60 Minutes’ paid me a lot of money,” Trump said during the interview in comments that did not air in the broadcast but were included in a transcript posted online that evening. “And you don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you, and I’m sure you’re not … I think you have a great, new leader, frankly, who’s — the young woman that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know.”
After it faced intense backlash from Trump’s allies over the Harris edit, CBS vowed to publish full transcripts of all “60 Minutes” interviews with presidents and presidential candidates.
The “new leader” Trump was referring to was @bari-weiss/ the former New York Times columnist and a controversial figure in media @/robbys-radar/5543304-bari-weiss-cbs-news-editor/ as CBS’s editor in chief under new CEO David Ellison, the son of tech mogul and billionaire Larry Ellison.
