Trump Cuts Short “60 Minutes” Interview, Demands AG Barr Investigate Bidens

HeadlineOct 21, 2020

President Trump railed against “60 Minutes” and its host Lesley Stahl on Tuesday, after he cut short an interview with the CBS News program at the White House. After the interview, Trump tweeted, “for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I am considering posting my interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, PRIOR TO AIRTIME! This will be done so that everybody can get a glimpse of what a FAKE and BIASED interview is all about.” 

Separately on Tuesday, Trump ordered Attorney General William Barr to launch a probe of the Bidens over unverified claims of corruption tied to Hunter Biden’s time spent on the board of a Ukrainian oil company. This is Trump speaking on Fox News Tuesday.

Will Cain: “Will you be appointing a special prosecutor?”

President Donald Trump: “We’ve got to get the attorney general to act. He’s got to act, and he’s got to act fast. He’s got to appoint somebody. This is major corruption, and this has to be known about before the election.”
