Donald Trump has backed out of a planned Oct. 7 interview with “60 Minutes,” the CBS news program announced Tuesday.
“After initially accepting ’60 Minutes’’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate,” a message shared to the program’s X account read.
“For over half a century, ’60 Minutes’ has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls. This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with ’60 Minutes,” the message began, before noting that both candidates would have been given equal time before Trump had a change of heart.
