CBS Releases Unedited Harris Interview Amid Trump Lawsuit, FCC Investigation

CBS News released the unedited transcripts and raw video of Vice President Kamala Harris's controversial '60 Minutes' interview, responding to a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump and a call from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Trump accused CBS of editing the interview to unfairly present Harris, claiming it distorted her responses to make her sound more coherent. CBS defended its editing practices, stating that they follow journalistic standards and that the broadcast was not doctored or deceptive. The release of the unedited material was prompted by ongoing public interest and scrutiny from Trump's administration. The interview particularly drew attention due to its handling of Harris's comments regarding Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. CBS maintains that its edits were made to enhance clarity and provide context within the constraints of broadcast television.
