Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” will now include an interview with President Donald Trump, conducted by CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell in the wake of the shooting on Saturday night near the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“After law enforcement officers stopped a gunman from rushing the Washington Hilton ballroom where President Trump, members of his cabinet, and journalists convened, @norahodonnell speaks with the president about the experience and what it signals about the state of the country. Tonight on ’60 Minutes,’” the show wrote on social media.
CBS News said the interview will focus on the shooting, “which she witnessed first-hand as an attendee at the annual gathering hosted in Washington, D.C. that celebrates the First Amendment and White House correspondents.”
According to CBS News, this reps the second time “60 Minutes” has interviewed Trump since he returned to the presidency for his second term. O’Donnell last interviewed Trump in November 2026.
It’s unclear how that will reshape Sunday’s episode, which was previously announced to feature a segment with former U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who is now battling a terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis. CBS’ Scott Pelley sat down with Sasse in an interview and town hall that was scheduled to be a part of “60 Minutes” and also a special edition of “Things That Matter.” The extended version of that interview will be available on “60 Minutes Overtime,” the “60 Minutes” podcast and “Things That Matter,” which will appear on Paramount+ and CBS News digital platforms.
