The FCC released the raw transcript and footage it obtained from CBS News of its October 2024 sit-down with then-Vice President Kamala Harris .

The raw transcript showed CBS News aired only the first half of her response to " 60 Minutes " correspondent Bill Whitaker 's question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not "listening" to the Biden administration.

"The policy says you can't swap answers out to make it look like somebody said something entirely different," FCC Chairman Brendan Carr told Fox News Digital .

Critics accused CBS News of editing Kamala Harris' "word salad" answer to shield the vice president from further backlash.

In October , Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News alleging election interference over its handling of the " 60 Minutes " interview.

CBS parent company Paramount Global is reportedly considering settling the suit ahead of a planned merger with Skydance Media .
