CBS News suddenly shelved a “60 Minutes” segment featuring the accounts of Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration to a notorious maximum-security prison in El Salvador. But she has recently become personally involved in “60 Minutes” stories about politics, the CBS sources told CNN. In late 2024, Trump sued CBS and its parent company, Paramount, then under different ownership, alleging “60 Minutes” deceptively edited a Kamala Harris interview to benefit her campaign. David Ellison took control of Paramount, lavished praise on “60 Minutes,” and said he wanted to strengthen CBS News. At the end of October, Weiss traveled to Mar-a-Lago when CBS journalist Norah O’Donnell taped a “60 Minutes” sit-down with President Trump.
