President Trump will sit down for an interview on CBS News' "60 Minutes," his first since suing the network last year in a case that ended with its parent company Paramount Global agreeing to pay a $16 million settlement. It will also mark Trump's first appearance on the network since Paramount was acquired by David Ellison's Skydance Media and the company acquired The Free Press, naming its founder Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News.
Trump is being interviewed by network correspondent Norah O'Donnell in Florida on Friday afternoon, a network spokesperson confirms to Variety.

The booking represents a mending of a long rift between Trump and CBS News. A month prior to the 2024 election, the Trump campaign turned down an offer to be interviewed by "60 Minutes" under the argument that it would not accept interruptions due to fact-checking.
Democratic nominee Kamala Harris accepted an interview on "60 Minutes," in turn spurring a lawsuit against CBS News filed by Trump just days before the 2024 election. The filing alleged that "60 Minutes" tried to mislead voters by airing two different edits of remarks made in the interview with Harris.
Though CBS and legal experts initially characterized the case as "meritless" and sought to have it thrown out, Paramount Global opted to pay $16 million towards Trump's "presidential library" in July. The settlement came as Skydance Global sought to seek approval from the Trump-appointed leadership of the Federal Communications Commission for its acquisition of Paramount — a deal that has since closed.
Semafor was first to report on Trump booking an interview with CBS News.
