Trump reignites feud with CBS over ‘deleted' Colbert interview - years after his claim was debunked
President Donald Trump posted a video claiming that CBS 'deleted' his 2015 interview with Stephen Colbert, resurfacing a debunked claim against one of his favorite recent rivals. Late on Friday, the president reposted a Facebook video on his Truth Social account containing heavily edited clips of his September 2015 interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. A message next to the video states: 'You are not supposed to see this video. CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either.' However, a quick search on YouTube showed otherwise. Clips from the Trump-Colbert interview are still available to be watched on the official Late Show account. One video has 17 million views. The Independent has reached out to the White House and CBS for comment. Both the YouTube video and Trump's post include a portion of the interview in which Trump, then a candidate, touts his plans to build a wall, prompting the audience to cheer. 'Oh, listen to this, even with your crowd –' Trump begins. Colbert interjects: 'They love the wall. People love the wall.' Strangely, this isn't the first time that Trump has made this claim. The president appears to have reposted that same video in his first term in October 2018. Hours later, Colbert posted on X: 'I don't know why the president would take time on a National Day of Mourning to retweet something weird like this, but the original clips have always been online. 16 million views.' The comedian attached two links to YouTube clips from the episode in question. A CBS spokesperson at the time told the Associated Press that full episodes of The Late Show are only available to stream online 30 days after the initial airing. Trump's Friday Truth Social post marked the latest move in his feud with CBS. The president has repeatedly expressed his ire at CBS' 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. He has sued the network for $20 million, claiming it used 'deceitful editing' to advantage the then-vice president. CBS filed a motion to dismiss the case earlier this month, arguing: 'This lawsuit is an affront to the First Amendment and is without basis in law or fact.' In response, this week Trump's lawyers claimed he suffered 'mental anguish' as a result of the interview. His legal team also accused to the network of seeking 'to wield the First Amendment as a sword, arguing that they cannot be held responsible for illegal conduct, intended to mislead the masses and undertaken in the pursuit of profit, because such conduct was the result of 'editorial judgment.''

Over 70 cats, 3 dogs rescued from ‘biohazard' hoarding conditions in Ohio
72 cats and three dogs were seized from a person accused of hoarding them in two 'biohazard' houses in Ohio, according to our CBS affiliate WOIO-19 TV. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] TRENDING STORIES: Local man arrested on child molestation warrant after 'intensive investigation' Robocaller behind millions of illegal calls in Ohio permanently banned, attorney general announces Man with filet knife arrested after standoff in Mercer County The complaint reported that several cats were living in inhumane conditions in an Ashtabula house. On May 15, an ACAPL officer and an Astabula dog warden responded to the house and found biohazardous conditions, according to a social media post from the league. 'With urine soaked floors, and a flea infestation and the majority of the cats requiring urgent veterinary care it was decided to remove the animals,' the post said. Over 40 cats were rescued from the house. The ACAPL told WOIO-19 that many of the cats were suffering from an upper respiratory infection from the fecal matter and ammonia odor. Some of the cats were blind or only had one healthy eye, ACAPL said. Two of the cats had to get surgery to remove their entire eyeballs and optic nerve, WOIO-19 reported. While investigating the animal hoarding, authorities found a second location this week where the same person kept pets in unsanitary conditions. 28 cats and three dogs were rescued from this location. The league reported the property to the health department because conditions were 'uninhabitable for both animals and humans.' The ACAPL told WOIO-19 that these cats were in better health than those rescued from the first property. Some have already been treated and cleared for adoption, the league added. The conditions of the rescued dogs were not immediately available. 'This case has led to an overwhelming number of cats now in our care,' the league said on social media. WOIO-19 reported that the league must take all strays and animals seized by the warden due to a contract with the county. On May 20, the league posted to social media asking other rescues and shelters to help out and accept transfers. According to WOIO-19, most of the cats and kittens rescued in this investigation can't be adopted yet due to age or health. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
