Longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft has firmly placed the blame on President Donald Trump for the recent upheaval at the iconic CBS News magazine program.
The retired reporter spoke to the Status newsletter on Friday (May 29) after the latest string of staff changes at 60 Minutes. CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss announced last week that the show’s executive producer, Tanya Simon, would be replaced by filmmaker Nick Bilton. In addition, exec producer Draggan Mihailovich and correspondents Cecilia Vega and Sharyn Alfonsi were fired.
