A “60 Minutes” spokesperson added: “This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes. Vice President Harris will speak with correspondent Bill Whitaker. After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening.

Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign communications director, told Axios:

“There were discussions but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in. They insisted on cutting out of the interview to do fact-checking.”

They see fact checking as hostile. Because they are liars.
