Washington Post: “Trump and Pence were meant to do a signature ’60 Minutes’ walk-and-talk portion of the interview together, but after cutting off his sit-down with Stahl, the president did not return for that segment. A person at CBS familiar with the interview said the image of the maskless Stahl that Trump tweeted was taken immediately following the interview with the CBS team (who had all been tested.) Lesley had a mask on leading into the interviews as appropriate.”
“The person with CBS declined to comment more broadly on what happened during the interview but did confirm that Trump did not do the walk with Pence. According to another person with knowledge of what happened, Trump was unhappy that Stahl asked him tough questions regarding his rhetoric about Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), his rally crowd sizes, his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and why he fights with Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-disease doctor. She also told him during the interview that allegations about Hunter Biden were not verified. When Trump first walked in, Stahl looked at him and said, ‘Are you ready for a tough interview?’ About half the interview was focused on the coronavirus. The president believes ’60 Minutes’ will cut the interview in an unflattering way and has been talking all afternoon about how to preempt the footage, said the person, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about what happened. ‘The interview was not that bad,’ a White House staffer said. ‘It wasn’t a bad interview. She just had a tone he didn’t like.'”
