Former President Donald Trump’s legal team told\u00a0CBS News he was considering litigation if the news outlet did not release the full transcript of its \u201c60 Minutes\u201d interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS has come under fire in recent days after it aired two different versions of Harris\u2019 response to a question on Israel, prompting questions over whether CBS intentionally edited Harris’ response to make her look better ahead of the presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuch manipulative editing was aimed at causing confusion among the electorate regarding Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s abilities, intelligence, and appeal,\u201d Trump lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik wrote in a\u00a0letter<\/a>\u00a0to CBS. \u201cNews organizations such as CBS have a responsibility to accurately represent the truth of events, not distort an interview to try and make their preferred candidate appear coherent and decisive, which Harris most certainly is not. Due to CBS\u2019 actions, the public cannot distinguish which Kamala Harris they are seeing: the candidate or the puppet of a behind-the-scenes editor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe executives and producers at CBS, and 60 Minutes in particular, are unquestionably aware that the purpose behind editing the Interview was to confuse the electorate and portray the Vice President in a better light than a full, unedited transcript would reveal. Responsible news sources must be held accountable to the highest standards,\u201d Paltzik wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On Truth Social, Trump said that the editing of the interview could \u201cbe the Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen will CBS release their Transcript of the fraudulent Interview with Comrade Kamala Harris? They changed her answer in order to make Kamala look intelligent, rather than \u2018dumb as a rock,\u2019\u201d he posted. \u201cCBS MUST GET THE TRANSCRIPT OUT NOW \u2014 Litigation has already started. Harris wasn\u2019t able to put two sentences together, so they completely removed her answer, and put in another one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The edited portion in question came during a discussion on Israel when host Bill Whitaker said, \u201cBut it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a promotional video posted online, Harris responded to Whitaker by saying: \u201cThe work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interview that aired, Harris responded by saying: \u201cWe are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS has responded to criticism of its editing by saying it just broadcasted different parts of the \u201csame answer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes,\u201d CBS said<\/a> on Sunday. \u201cSame question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
