Former President Donald Trump has stated that he will not participate in an interview with CBS's '60 Minutes' unless the program apologizes for its previous coverage of the Hunter Biden 'laptop from hell' story. Trump criticized '60 Minutes' for challenging his claims during a 2020 interview, when the program suggested the laptop was Russian disinformation. The Trump campaign has denied agreeing to an interview for the upcoming primetime election special featuring both candidates, following CBS's claim that he had backed out of a planned appearance.
