Despite recent concerns that 60 Minutes had to toe the line under CBS News’ new bosses, Sunday’s (November 16) episode didn’t shy away from criticizing President Donald Trump.

In a segment led by host Scott Pelley, the long-running news magazine program looked into Trump’s pardoning of Changpeng Zhao, the founder and former boss of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. Zhao stepped down as CEO after pleading guilty to money laundering charges in the US and served four months in prison. He was released in September 2024.
