The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has released a fully unedited video of Kamala Harris’ controversial interview with 60 Minutes.
The new video shows CBS News only aired half of Harris’s response to “60 Minutes” reporter Bill Whitaker’s question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not heeding the Biden administration.
Whitaker asked, Harris: “The Wall Street Journal said that he— that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu, and in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administration’s entreaties.”
Harris responded, “Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. And we’re not going to stop doing that.”
She added, “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

Check out what Fox News reported:
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) released the unedited transcript and video handed over by CBS News of its controversial “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
The raw transcript showed CBS News had 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 in a preview clip that aired on “Face the Nation,” but aired only the second half of her response during the primetime special.
“But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” Whitaker said in the October 2024 interview. “The Wall Street Journal said that he— that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu, and in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administration’s entreaties.”
“Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. And we’re not going to stop doing that. We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end,” Harris responded.

Per The New York Post:
The Federal Communication Commission on Wednesday released the unedited version of the network’s controversial “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala.
The Tiffany Network published two never-before-seen excerpts from the sit-down, which President Donald Trump has alleged was deceptively edited to help the Democratic nominee in her failed bid for the White House.
The Post reported earlier this week that FCC Chair Brendan Carr planned to put the investigation into high gear after CBS News handed over the full transcript of the Harris interview on Monday.
Carr vowed to launch a probe following a complaint by the Center for American Rights, a right-leaning activist group, which argued that the long-running television newsmagazine favorably edited the October sit-down with the 2024 Democratic Party presidential nominee.
ADVERTISEMENTThe FCC is investigating whether CBS News exhibited political bias against Trump and the Republican Party during the 2024 election cycle.
