Donald Trump leaves contentious '60 Minute' interview with Lesley Stahl, goes on Twitter attack
CBS News reported that Trump "cut short" an interview with "60 Minutes" that is part of "Sunday’s special edition of the broadcast featuring both" the president and challenger Joe Biden.
As for Trump's threatened release of a tape, the network said that "the White House had agreed they were taping the interview for archival purposes only."
After the interview, the president also sent out an attack tweet about Stahl, posting a six-second video of her not wearing a mask at the White House just a few weeks after COVID-19 raced through the building.
Even though he avoids masks himself, Trump tweeted that "Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes not wearing a mask in the White House after her interview with me."
Stahl did wear a mask at the White House in and around her talks with Trump and Pence, said a person familiar with the interviews, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a private matter.
The brief video Trump tweeted out was taken right after his interview, the person said. Stahl is speaking with members of her crew, all of whom tested negative for COVID-19.
