The Redstones also worried that Mr. Trump’s lawyers could cherry-pick raw footage and internal communications and do more damage to CBS News’s reputation than any settlement would. Ms. Redstone said CBS personnel had told her that in October 2023, when Scott Pelley of “60 Minutes” interviewed President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the president had seemed drowsy and had to be prodded to answer. She and Tyler worried that CBS might be accused of editing the interview to conceal Mr. Biden’s failings.
The "60 Minutes" settlement appears to be less about manipulating video to help Kamala Harris than it was about covering up for Joe Biden. My guess is that the raw footage of Biden's interview was typical for him but that emails around the CBS Newsroom would have been devastating.
