CBS News pulled a “60 Minutes” segment on Trump administration deportations of Venezuelan immigrants to a brutal El Salvador prison, causing staffers and media onlookers to decry the decision as politically motivated.
That comes days after Trump publicly complained the show was treating him badly.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.
