CBS News said President Donald Trump sat down with CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell for an exclusive interview for “60 Minutes” on Friday afternoon, the first with the network after his lawsuit against it.
O’Donnell interviewed Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., a spokesperson for the network said. It will be aired Sunday.
Semafor had earlier reported on the interview.
In July, CBS-parent Paramount Skydance, then Paramount, agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump over his claim CBS deceptively edited a “60 Minutes” interview with his Democratic presidential opponent Kamala Harris last year.
CBS also appointed a new ombudsman who had previously run the Hudson Institute, a conservative think-tank.
Paramount Skydance named Bari Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News earlier this month, as part of a deal to acquire the Free Press, the center-right online news outlet she founded.
David Ellison, the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, took over the CBS network and other Paramount properties earlier this year when his company Skydance Media merged with Paramount Global in an $8.4 billion deal.
