Donald Trump Again Lashes Out At CBS And '60 Minutes' And Urges FCC Chair To "Impose The Maximum Fines And Punishment" [View all]

Donald Trump again lashed out at 60 Minutes, this time angry over two segments the newsmagazine ran on Ukraine and Greenland.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump called on the network to lose their license and for his FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, to “impose the maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for their unlawful and illegal behavior.”

The two 60 Minutes segments were pretty standard for the newsmagazine. One featured an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In the segment, Scott Pelley noted that Trump “rewrote history, saying, falsely, that Ukraine had started the war,” before running a clip in which the president referred to Zelensky as a “dictator.”
