The full transcript shows the president's complaints about the editing of the interview are not just wildly hyperbolic and legally groundless. They are demonstrably false.

Summary

CBS has released the full transcript of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, refuting Trump’s claims that the network deceptively edited her responses to favor her campaign.

The transcript confirms CBS followed standard journalistic practice by using a “succinct” segment of Harris’ Israel remarks, while Trump has exaggerated and misrepresented the edits.

FCC commissioner Brendan Carr’s decision to revisit the complaint highlights how executive power can serve political vendettas.

Paramount may settle Trump’s lawsuit, which CBS calls “completely without merit,” to avoid regulatory retaliation.

            It was meant to be a peaceful protest. When there were violence, Trump told the protesters to leave peacefully. Trump challenged the election result through court. Most of the court cases ruled on “no standing” technicality not the merit. Anyway, since the court challenges weren’t successful, the result was a peaceful transfer of power. There was nothing wrong from what Trump did.
