Trump and "60 Minutes" Fury: Deleted Segments on Crypto and Controversial Pardons
Trump's Controversial Interview: CBS Deletes Details of His Fury Over Crypto Deals and Billionaire Pardon
The interview conducted by CBS with former US President Donald Trump sparked widespread controversy after significant parts were deleted, particularly those related to his displeasure with questions about corruption issues linked to cryptocurrency deals and his pardon of a billionaire. This deletion raised questions about the transparency and bias of media coverage.
Details of the Deletion and Different Versions of the Interview
CBS aired a 28-minute television version of the interview, then released an extended online version lasting 73 minutes. However, neither version included Trump's moment of anger at questions about cryptocurrency billionaire Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, whom Trump pardoned after a $2 billion cryptocurrency deal linked to the Trump family. Some social media accounts claimed to have published the "full" version that came "without network edits and cuts," while "60 Minutes" clarified that its extended version was "condensed for clarity."
"60 Minutes" Leaks: CBS Deleted Trump's Fury Over Crypto Deals and Billionaire Pardon
The Trump Family's Cryptocurrency Deal
News reports revealed that the Trump family is set to profit from a $2 billion cryptocurrency deal in the Middle East, using their own stablecoin. In May 2025, Eric Trump announced that UAE investment firm MGX would use stablecoins issued by World Liberty Financial, a blockchain company owned by the Trump family, to pay for its recent $2 billion investment in the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. According to Fortune Crypto (May 7, 2025), the Trump family and their business partners could benefit from this deal, though the exact profit size remains unclear due to the deal's lack of transparency. The Guardian (May 1, 2025) also noted that the use of USD1 stablecoin in the deal highlights World Liberty's growing influence in the global cryptocurrency industry and its ties to Binance, as USD1 is issued on the Binance blockchain.
Trump's Displeasure with the Interviewer's Questions
At the conclusion of the interview, the interviewer asked Trump if she could pose two additional questions, focusing on the case of Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, the cryptocurrency billionaire who was released from prison in September after pleading guilty to money laundering violations. Parts of Trump's answers were included in the abridged version of the interview broadcast on television, where Trump claimed he "didn't know who" Zhao was before immediately contradicting himself.
When the interviewer asked Trump again if he was "concerned about the suspicion of corruption" related to pardoning Zhao due to his family ties, the full transcript of the interview revealed that the president became agitated. The interviewer interrupted Trump when he tried to speak about the cryptocurrency industry, indicating clear tension in the interview's progression.
