CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Monday opened with a detailed account from correspondent Scott Pelley on the lead up to former President Donald Trump bailing on the show’s customary interview with presidential candidates before the election. “It’s been a tradition for more than half a century that the major party candidates for president sit down with ’60 Minutes’ in October,” Pelley explained. We fact-check every story.”“Later, Trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020,” Pelley continued, referencing the “60 Minutes” sit-down with Lesley Stahl where Trump bristled over a line of questioning and ended up walking out.

In Harris’ interview, the vice president called out Trump’s decision not to take part.
