FCC Requests Full Transcript of '60 Minutes' Interview With Harris Amid Paramount Deal Review
CBS News says it will comply with a request from the Federal Communications Commissions for a 'full unedited transcript' and feeds from its interview with Vice President Harris.
'Late Wednesday, CBS News was sent a Letter of Inquiry from the Federal Communications Commission asking for the full, unedited transcript and camera feeds from our interview with Vice President Harris which aired on October 7, 2024. We are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do,' CBS said in a statement.

But also comes after President Donald Trump's lawsuit against CBS concerning this interview. In the $10 million suit, Trump has alleged that the network edited the interview to try to help Harris win the election.
