FCC releases transcript of Kamala Harris interview countering Trump’s claims of election interference
cnn.com —
The FCC has released a transcript of Kamala Harris's interview on CBS's "60 Minutes," countering claims by Donald Trump that the network engaged in election interference. CBS had previously withheld the full transcript, leading to controversy. The transcript confirms CBS's assertion that it edited Harris's responses for time, not to mislead viewers. Trump had accused CBS of deceptive editing, but the released materials show normal editing practices. FCC Chair Brendan Carr is extending the inquiry for public comment, despite critics arguing this politicizes the agency. Carr's actions have drawn scrutiny, with some calling them unprecedented and potentially damaging to the FCC's reputation.
