President Donald Trump lashed out at the "60 Minutes" news program after it was nominated for an award based on an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a Wednesday post on his Truth Social platform, Trump argued that the interview amounted to "election interference" and "turned out to be much worse than expected."
The president claimed that Harris's answers were "unlawfully fixed, manipulated, and doctored throughout by CBS, in order to try and make Kamala appear at least somewhat coherent."
According to Trump, the full transcript showed "that the 'interview' was nothing but fake, corrupt, anti-Trump propaganda."

"On top of that, in a total slap in the face to anyone who believes in TRUTH and Honest Journalism, this Fake News Puff Piece has now been nominated for an award by the totally discredited Emmys," he griped.
"Did 60 Minutes and its Corporate Parents apply to get an Emmy for an illegally falsified interview, or did other Fake Outlets nominate them for this dubious 'honor'?" he asked. "These antics are why the American People have no trust in the Press, and demand that the Media, very much including 60 Minutes, CBS, and its owners, be held responsible for their corruption and lies, which is exactly what we are doing in Court!"
Trump has sued CBS for $10 billion over the interview.
