What Trump said in the part of his ‘60 Minutes’ interview that didn’t air

Poynter · Tom Jones · last updated

On Monday, a day after CBS News and “60 Minutes” aired its interview with President Donald Trump, there was still plenty of buzz about Trump’s first sitdown with the show in five years.

The last time he talked to “60 Minutes” was in 2020, when he walked out of his interview with Lesley Stahl. 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.
