CBS News announced it would comply with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) demand that it turn over the transcript of a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that is the subject of President Trump’s lawsuit against the company.
The FCC, led by Trump appointee Brendan Carr, sent a letter of inquiry to the news company on Wednesday, requesting the "full, unedited transcript and camera feeds."
"We are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do," a CBS News spokesman said in a statement on Friday.

transcripts?...they were asked for the full camera feed ...why no mention of that being turned over ?
After all this we’ll see the censored portions where she said she was born in a middle class family in a middle class neighborhood.
And “Could you turn off the cameras a minute, Bill? My teleprompter behind you just malfunctioned.”
Bill Whitaker: “Fellas, splice this together later, okay?”
Good question. The article says the judge order CBS to produce transcripts so I guess the question is why they weren’t asked to produce the actual video. Maybe they’ve been asked and agreed to hand over the raw video but it’s being misreported as transcripts.
Maybe the very recent $15 million from ABC and $25 million from Meta is making these idiots from CBS think twice, wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they settled out of court for another $25 million (instead of billions) to President Trump to go to another charity.
I’d go for the billions. They could go broke-am I right?
Certain charities are doing VERY well under Trump.
“The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump’s appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission. “60 Minutes” has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process.”
Thanks for the clarification.
If Trump keeps winning these lawsuits he’ll soon have enough to pay off Carroll and New York, if he has to.
They’re working on it?
A college freshman could have it all done in 15 minutes.
The licenses of all their local television stations (both owned and affiliated) need to be pulled.
They do not serve the public interest with their leftist propaganda.
Here’s hoping.
And hopefully he won’t have to pay that sex crazed con artist Carroll.
it was criminal and someone should be charged with a criminal conspiracy. Only until there are real life consequences for their campaign interference, will this stop. This crap has been going on since the 90’s.
I highly doubt they will give the original unedited version.
the transcripts AND the video must be handed over.
