60 Minutes is gearing up to air another hard-hitting report on President Trump this Sunday — just as its parent company, Paramount Global, tries to win his favor for a major merger.
The segment, led by veteran correspondent Scott Pelley, dives into how Trump is wielding executive orders to go after top law firms he accuses of “weaponizing” the legal system against him.
It’s not just Trump under scrutiny — Pelley recently turned the spotlight on his own network. Last week, he stunned viewers by accusing Paramount of meddling with the show’s coverage. That clash reportedly helped push out 60 Minutes boss Bill Owens, who believed the network had compromised its journalistic independence.
“Bill insisted on tough, fair reporting,” Pelley said. “But now, as Paramount chases a merger that needs Trump’s approval, the company started overseeing our content in new ways. No story has been killed, but Bill felt the integrity was gone.”
Sources say Paramount chair Shari Redstone pressed CBS CEO George Cheeks to delay Trump-critical stories until after the merger with Skydance Media — but there’s no proof the request was enforced. Officially, CBS says the show’s editorial independence remains intact.
Still, the timing couldn’t be more tense: as Trump keeps lashing out at 60 Minutes, the show keeps firing back — while Paramount walks a tightrope between journalism and business interests.
