Former President Donald Trump has backed out of a previously scheduled interview with “60 Minutes,” the most-watched newsmagazine in the United States, CBS News said Tuesday evening.

“This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes.”.

Trump had committed to the interview first, followed by Harris, through campaign spokespeople, CBS said.

Veteran CBS anchor and correspondent Scott Pelley was lined up to interview Trump.

“After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate,” CBS said.

CBS said the primetime special will still go forward with an interview with Harris.

The CBS newsmagazine is typically a much-sought-after destination for presidential candidates due to its large viewership. »
