President Donald Trump posted the entirety of his contentious interview with “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl on Thursday -- before CBS News aired the footage -- in what he described as an effort to expose “the bias, hatred and rudeness” of the network.
The video, taken from a White House camera in the room for archival purposes, includes Stahl challenging the president about his political rallies, coronavirus response, and health-care plans. It shows Trump repeatedly expressing frustration with Stahl’s questions, and her efforts to challenge his misleading statements.
