’60 Minutes’ Posts Unedited Transcript Of Kamala Harris Interview, Says It Shows Broadcast Was “Not Doctored Or Deceitful”

CBS News’ 60 Minutes posted the unedited transcript and video of its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris from October, a segment that is the source of a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump and an FCC inquiry.

The show turned over the transcript to the FCC on Monday.

“They show – consistent with 60 Minutes‘ repeated assurances to the public – that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful.”

The show said, “The issue here concerns one question from 60 Minutes‘ interview with Kamala Harris:  whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is listening to the Biden-Harris Administration. We broadcast a longer portion of the vice president’s answer on Face the Nation and broadcast a shorter excerpt from the same answer on 60 Minutes the next day. Each excerpt reflects the substance of the vice president’s answer.  As the full transcript shows, we edited the interview to ensure that as much of the vice president’s answers to 60 Minutes‘ many questions were included in our original broadcast while fairly representing those answers. 60 Minutes‘ hard-hitting questions of the vice president speak for themselves.”

The show also posted audio and video, and the files that it sent to the FCC.

More to come.
