Sunday’s (March 1) 60 Minutes aired an explosive segment critical of Donald Trump, amid fears that the show might be softened to appease the president under the leadership of Bari Weiss at CBS News.
In the segment, CBS News’ Bill Whitaker spoke with 26 federal judges, both retired and sitting, including nine appointed by Democrats and 17 appointed by Republicans. Many of the judges told Whitaker they felt “under siege” by hardcore MAGA supporters.
