White House Fierce Warning to CBS Over Trump Interview Editing
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a stark warning to CBS on January 19, 2026, threatening legal action if the network doesn’t air the complete, unedited version of President Trump’s recent 60 Minutes interview.
The Allegations
Leavitt accused CBS of heavily editing Trump’s responses during the interview, claiming the network selectively cut portions to portray the president as less coherent and more aggressive than he appeared in the full recording. She stated the administration would “sue the hell out of” CBS if it fails to broadcast the entire interview without edits.
The press secretary made her statement both publicly and in direct communications with network executives, asserting that viewers deserve to see the complete interview without modification.
White House Response
According to Leavitt, the White House has obtained the raw footage and is prepared to release side-by-side comparisons if CBS doesn’t air the full interview. She characterized the alleged editing as “deceptive editing practices” intended to shape public perception ahead of major policy announcements.
President Trump amplified the warning on Truth Social, calling CBS “fake news” and demanding the network broadcast the complete interview “without cuts, without tricks.”
Broader Context
The dispute has revived longstanding conservative complaints about 60 Minutes’ coverage of Republican politicians. Some congressional Republicans have called for hearings examining media bias and editing practices at major news organizations.
CBS has not issued a public response to the legal threat. However, sources familiar with the network acknowledge the administration’s willingness to pursue litigation makes the situation serious.
What Happens Next
The standoff raises questions about media editing practices, transparency in presidential interviews, and the relationship between the current administration and traditional news outlets. Whether CBS will air the full interview or face potential legal action remains to be seen.
C-BS should be sued for enough $ to put them out of business, they offer nothing but BS.
