After the newly installed CBS Evening News anchor concluded a taped interview with President Donald Trump in January, Leavitt approached the CBS News crew with a warning, according to a recording obtained by the New York Times.

“He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,’” Leavitt said.

“Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Dokoupil responded.

Leavitt then took it a step further: “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your a-- off,’” Leavitt deadpan replied. When Dokoupil, 45, tried to defuse the moment by quipping, “He always says that!” Leavitt did not break.
