"Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview. It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris," Schumer wrote.
Schumer's post seemed to be in reference to Trump's original lawsuit against CBS News, in which he accused the company of deceptively editing a 2024 "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, ahead of the presidential election.
However, Trump did not file an FCC complaint at the time, though he called for the network to lose its broadcasting license over the issue. The FCC complaint was filed by the Center for American Rights, which argued that CBS News' editing decisions "amount to deliberate news distortion" and violated FCC rules.
Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer's office and Paramount for comment.
Both Harris and CBS News were mocked by conservatives after it appeared that the network shortened a lengthy "word-salad" response from Harris that aired on "Face the Nation" to a more focused and condensed answer that aired on a special edition of "60 Minutes."
