CBS News has turned over the transcript of its interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission, which has been pursuing the document for an investigation into favorable editing – but any settlement won’t include an apology from “60 Minutes” executive editor Bill Owens.
A CBS News spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap that the transcript had been submitted to the FCC. The New York Times also reported that Owens told staff on Monday that any settlement in the matter would not include an apology from him, according to people familiar with his remarks.
FCC chair Brendan Carr, a fresh Trump appointee, said last week that the commission had reinstated a complaint into the appearance.
