The Trump campaign has urged CBS News’s 60 Minutes to publish the complete, unedited transcript of the interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The segment, which aired on Monday night, edited the discussion in a manner that hinders voters from forming their own opinions regarding her responses.

“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media,” Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary,” wrote in a statement. “During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”
“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she asked. “The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala’s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it.”
“What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?” Leavitt questioned.
