Former "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley accused CBS News chief Bari Weiss of tilting coverage in favor of how President Donald Trump characterized events in Minnesota and described a newsroom in turmoil under her leadership during an emotional New York Times interview published Sunday.
In his first interview since being fired last week, Pelley alleged Weiss attempted to influence a politically sensitive "60 Minutes" report on immigration protests in Minneapolis and said her intervention amounted to editorial interference he had never before experienced at CBS News.
