Lesle Stahl needs to do an update on the Trump survaillance story now that we can verify that it's true

[jeffsmith]

She lied, showed blatant bias, embarrassed herself with obvious dishonesty.. sounds like she's conforming to modern standards of journalism despite coming up through the dark days of honesty and integrity. Her boss, the Democrats, must be proud!

60 MINUTES & LESLIE STAHL - WE, THE PEOPLE, hold you accountable!

[tinaroderick]

I believe we call former Presidents by the title "President". As in President Trump. Will Lesley Stahl be apologizing for telling President Trump that there was no spying on his campaign?

[TruthificationChronicles]

Well, this was 4 times as long as any of the clips you have with Trump speaking. Are you planning on posting the whole thing so we can see context? It seems like maybe you just picked out the clips you thought would further your agenda instead of letting us see the whole thing. Btw, I don't watch 60 minutes anymore because of the obvious liberal bias. I used to. But then I woke up to the lies. A lot of people are like me, and if you'd have treated our POTUS well, we might have changed our minds about watching you...but it appears this leopard will never change its spots. Feel free to sink back into obscurity while I continue to watch Trump actually keeping the promises he made to us during his campaign. Promises made, promises kept. Doing precisely what we voted him in to do.

A “journalist” asking a president to PLEDGE to not fire someone, how unbiased and professional . She wasn’t interviewing him she was ARGUING with him.

Lesley Stahl destroying 60 min legitimacy in 1 interview.

[cowichecanyonranch]

No one in America can ever trust you EVER again 60 mins

[hsk]

Lesley Stahl will look back at this as her greatest embarrassment to her and 60 minutes when she get's an opportunity to see her work with other historical presidential videos by real journalists. Times have changed...

[walowayne]

You gotta respect trump in the way he responded to 60mins. He has my support.

[thepardoner]

When did it become the job of "journalists" to solicit administrative pledges?

[rich]

She was humiliated. There is nothing else that happened.

[jahylo]

Leslie’s bias was on full display during her interview.

[misskathy]

Shame on Lesley. Clinton spied on Trump.

[AudiSorce]

Trump absolutely and utterly CRUSHED this interview! He literally threw back all of the minefields she was throwing at him with poise and common sense that no one could debate he's 100% right!

[rosgyallay]

"I'm president and you're not" lol only Donald would say that

[williv]

Is this an interview about her interview? Who's going to interview the guy interviewing her about her interview?

[chi-tn]

Every comment here is for Trump, as with most other YouTube clips
I just cant understand why the media is 90% negative coverage of our President.

[pekkajantti]

TRUMP: I think it’s — I think it’s one of the biggest scandals I’ve ever seen, and you don’t cover it. You won’t talk about it.
STAHL: Well, because it can’t be verified —
TRUMP: You want to talk about insignificant things.
STAHL: I’m telling you —
TRUMP: Of course it can be verified. Excuse me. They found the laptop. Lesley, listen.
STAHL: Can’t be verified.
TRUMP: What can’t be verified?
STAHL: The laptop.

60 minutes is a joke.

Trump is like the boxer who takes a couple of glancing blows and then comes back to knock the opponent out.
