Trump camp feuds with 60 Minutes over interview as Harris agrees to sit-down

Published



Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down with CBS News’s 60 Minutes on Monday in what was intended to be a back-to-back special with former President Donald Trump. CBS said Trump initially accepted but then backed out, a claim his campaign denied.

In a statement posted before the vice presidential debate Tuesday evening, CBS News said both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down for an interview, Harris with correspondent Bill Whitaker and Trump with Scott Pelley. The Trump campaign, however, reportedly backed out of the program after learning the network would be fact-checking the interview.
