Trump criticizes “60 Minutes” host over on-air reading of suspect’s alleged manifesto
Trump objected after Norah O'Donnell read alleged manifesto excerpts accusing him of being a rapist and pedophile, escalating a tense interview.
- On Sunday, April 26, 2026, President Donald Trump rebuked CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell during a '60 Minutes' interview, calling her 'a disgrace' after she read excerpts from the alleged shooter's manifesto.
- The interview followed Saturday's attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen breached security and injured a Secret Service agent before authorities apprehended him.
- Trump vehemently rejected claims in the manifesto labeling him 'pedophile, rapist, and traitor,' telling O'Donnell, 'You shouldn't be reading that on 60 Minutes,' and distancing himself from Jeffrey Epstein.

- Tensions between the administration and major news outlets remain high, with the incident underscoring complex interplay between media access, public interest, and amplification of extremist rhetoric.
