Less than three weeks after President Donald Trump criticized 60 Minutes for what he said were too many critical stories, the newsmagazine announced plans to air a piece about his efforts to target law firms through executive orders.
The segment, scheduled for May 4, is called “The Rule of Law,” and will examine how Trump has vowed to use the power of the presidency to go after perceived enemies, according to a press release from CBS News, the home of 60 Minutes. Correspondent Scott Pelley is reporting the piece.
