Trump Gloats In Norah O’Donnell’s Face During Unaired ’60 Minutes’ Portion | EUROtoday

Donald Trump crowed over CBS’s father or mother firm paying him thousands and thousands to settle a lawsuit in an unaired section of his “60 Minutes” interview Sunday. (Watch the video under.)

The president instructed correspondent Norah O’Donnell that Democratic foe Kamala Harris “failed because she couldn’t speak” and was not “very intelligent.” He pointed to the previous vp’s interview with the CBS information present for instance.

“And actually ‘60 Minutes’ paid me a lot of money,” he mentioned to O’Donnell. “And you don’t have to put this on because I don’t want to embarrass you.”

Trump pivoted to praising CBS News’ new editor-in-chief, the conservative journalist Bari Weiss, earlier than resuming his gloating ― which was probably meant to embarrass the community.

“But ‘60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took [Harris’] answer out that was so bad,” Trump continued. “It was election-changing two nights before the election and they put a new answer in and they paid me a lot of money for that. You can’t have fake news. You’ve got to have legit news.”

While the trade didn’t seem within the aired broadcast, it’s within the YouTube model at 1:07:30.

CBS mentioned Trump’s declare that the Harris interview was deceptively edited was “false” however father or mother firm Paramount caved in a $16 million settlement with the president at a delicate time.

The payout was seen as greasing the skids for Trump’s Federal Communications Commission to approve a merger between Paramount and Skydance media.

O’Donnell famous the settlement “did not include an apology or an admission of wrongdoing.”

Weiss’ hiring was seen as one other nod to the president, who is understood to be notoriously vengeful in opposition to media he feels has wronged him.

“I see good things happening in the news, I really do,” Trump mentioned. “And I think one of the best things that’s happened is this show and new ownership, CBS and new ownership. I think it’s the greatest thing that’s happened in a long time to a free and open and good press.”
