‘60 Minutes’ Civil War Breaks Out at Leaked Meeting

A newsroom firestorm has erupted at CBS News after editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made the eleventh‑hour call on Sunday to shelve a 60 Minutes report that was critical of President Donald Trump.

60 Minutes staff aired their grievances at a staff meeting on Monday, voicing frustration with Weiss’s leadership and her handling of the segment, which detailed the grisly conditions at an El Salvador megaprison where Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration were held.
