After two days of promising to release unedited footage of an as-yet-unaired 60 Minutes interview, during which he walked out prematurely because he was upset with Stahl’s line of questioning, the president finally followed through on Thursday.Near the beginning of the 37-minute clip, Stahl sets some expectations for the interview that Trump isn’t thrilled with:How the raw 60 Minutes tape posted by Trump begins:Stahl: You ready for tough questions?Trump: Just be fair.Stahl: Last time you were like bring it on.Trump: "No, I'm not looking for that."Stahl: "...But you're OK with some tough questions?"Trump: "No, I'm not."— Daniel Dale (@ddale8)Throughout the interview, Stahl presses Trump on issues from health care (the he hopes the Supreme Court strikes down Obamacare, a politically toxic position) to his derogatory comments about Anthony Fauci (Trump ) to his that the Obama campaign spied on him. The tone is of an adversarial back-and-forth, well within normal journalistic bounds. Nevertheless, Trump continuously claims that Joe Biden hasn’t been given similar treatment by CBS and cuts the proceedings short.Raw footage: Trump walks out of interview after complaining that Lesley Stahl's questions were too tough for him — Arlen Parsa (@arlenparsa)In a statement, CBS News said, “The White House’s unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter 60 Minutes from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades.”A White House staffer had previously , “It wasn’t a bad interview. She just had a tone he didn’t like.” (This is from Trump.)On Tuesday, a stewing Trump to publish video from the encounter before its airdate so that his supporters can get a “glimpse of what a FAKE and BIASED interview” he had to sit through. “You have to watch what we do to 60 Minutes,” he later told a Pennsylvania rally crowd. “You’ll get such a kick of it. You’re gonna get a kick out of it. Lesley Stahl is not gonna be happy.”He also posted a of Stahl, who was hospitalized this summer with COVID-19, in the White House without a mask on. Though his campaign attacked the journalist for not wearing a face covering in a White House known for its avoidance of PPE, CNN that the video showed “Stahl with her producers immediately after Trump ended the interview” and before she had time “to get her personal belongings to put her mask back on.”On Wednesday morning, with time running out for Trump to alter a race he has been losing for its entirety, the president’s chief of staff was spending at least some of his time on … this."We have tape of every single minute," Trump chief of staff says of the "60 Minutes" interview. He says "came across more like an opinion journalist than a real reporter." Meadows: "I've looked at every single minute of the interview and then some." — Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs)Joe Biden’s team will surely be happy if Trump’s tantrum extends to day four.This story has been updated.Daily news about the politics, business, and technology shaping our world.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Googleandapply.Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy NoticeBy submitting your email, you agree to our and and to receive email correspondence from us.Things you buy through our links may earn New York a commission.THE FEEDCharles is now officially the kingKing Charles became the monarch after the death of his mother, but a meeting formally confirmed it on Saturday.

New York is an American biweekly magazine concerned with life, culture, politics, and style generally, and with a particular emphasis on New York City. Founded by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker in 1968 as a competitor to The New Yorker, it was brasher and less polite, and established itself as a cradle of New Journalism. Over time, it became more national in scope, publishing many noteworthy articles on American culture by writers such as Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, Nora Ephron, John Heilemann, Frank Rich, and Rebecca Traister.
