Key takeaways from Trump’s 60 Minutes interview

The Oct. 31 Mar-a-Lago sitdown with Norah O'Donnell aired on Sunday night, November 2, 2025, marking Trump’s first CBS '60 Minutes' interview in five years.
A $16 million settlement and leadership changes at CBS News drew Trump back to 60 Minutes, including David Ellison's takeover and Bari Weiss' $150 million hire as editor-in-chief.
During the interview, Trump told Norah O'Donnell ICE had not done enough on deportations and urged Senate Republicans to abolish the filibuster to end the shutdown.
Polls and social reaction followed the airing: a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll shows 41% approve and 59% disapprove, while CBS News' 60 Minutes aired only 27 minutes and the White House released an uncut interview.
The White House has tightened press access to Room 140, limiting press movement amid new media restrictions, while CBS News faces credibility and staffing pressures after ownership changes and staff cuts.
