President Donald Trump He rejected the interview with George Clooney with “60 minutes” of CBS as a “puff piece” after the actor-police filed criticism on the general commander between the debate on his debut on Broadway.
“Why would you be high now discredited 60 minutes Working a total ‘puff piece’ on George Clooney, another movie ‘Star’ and Failed Political Pundit, ‘Trump wrote about the truth of Social. ” He hardly fought for Sleepy Joe’s elections, and then, immediately after the discussion, threw him like a dog. Later, I suppose that according to the orders from the Obama Camp, he threw out everything for ‘Kamal’, just to realize that it would not succeed in well. ”
Trump continued, “60 minutes even falsely inserted false answers into his catastrophic interview, aired just before the day of the election day, in one of the most unusual and dishonest events in the history of broadcasting.”
“And yet George Clooney?” Trump asked. “His press agent should earn a wealth !!!”

Clooney, a lifelong Democrat who joined the choir of those calling for former President Joe Biden finish his campaign for a re -choice Last summer, he sat down with “60 minutes” to talk about his debut at Broadway who played American journalist Edward R. Murrow in the 2005 -Good Night and Happiness. The play focuses on Murrow’s challenge to the McCarthy administration, the topic that Clooney claimed to be mirrored with which journalists face under Trump’s second term.
“Here’s where I would tell you where we are different from what Murrow was doing. Although McCarthy would try to set things up, display an empty piece of paper and say” I have a list of names. “It was his version of fake news,” Clooney said “60 minutes.” “We are now in the place where we have discovered that it is harder and harder and harder to discern the truth. The facts are now negotiating.”
Clooney also defended his decision to evaluate the opinion of the New York Times Biden’s ejection From the race just weeks after the A-Lister and other Hollywood stars helped raise $ 30 million for Biden to raise funds in Los Angeles.
“I was raised to tell the truth,” Clooney said when asked about the essay. “I saw the president close to his collection of funds and I was surprised, and so I feel like there is a lot of profiles in my party in my party. And I wasn’t proud of it, and I also believed I had to tell the truth.”
Trump is looking for damage of $ 20 billion from “60 minutes” and CBS parent company, Paramount Global, during October 2024, an interview with former Vice President Kamal Harris, who led to the 2024 presidential election. The lawsuit, initially filed in October, just before Trump won in the second term, and later expanded last month, accuses the program “Partisan and illegal acts of choice and interference voters” for the way he edited the interview and broadcast different clips of Harris’ answers.

The unregulated transcript and raw recordings were published in February in the middle of an investigation by the Federal Communications Commission. Different answers from Harris about Israel have been broadcast on “60 minutes” and CBS “Face the Nation”, but the network claimed that the deviation “was not a doctor or fraudster”. Despite the fact that he asked the court to reject the case, corporate leaders consider whether to get rid of it.
The “60 minutes” segment also showed that Clooney led the Broadway table that read the show.
“ABC has just resolved a lawsuit with Trump’s administration, and CBS News is in the process,” he hears Clooney as he speaks to the table reading at the Winter Garden Theater in the heart of Broadway, before the reporter voice interrupted him.

Jon Wertheim’s journalist, then categorizes Trump’s lawsuit against CBS as “unfounded allegations” about the interference of the choice.
In December, Disney agreed to pay $ 16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit against ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.
“We see this idea of using the Government for scaring or fine or using corporations to make journalists smaller,” Clooney said also in “60 minutes”. “The governments do not like the freedom of the press. They never have them, and that goes and if you are a conservative or liberal or on any side where you are where you are where you are on, they do not like the press.”

“It’s a struggle that is for centuries,” said the actor-police. “Journalism and speaking the truth of power must be guided as if the war is being waged. It is not just by accident. You know, people who say we will do these stories, and you will have to come after us. And so it is.”
