Karoline Leavitt Threatened to Sue CBS News’ ‘Ass Off’ Unless Trump Interview Aired in Full

Karoline Leavitt told Tony Dokoupil and CBS News the White House would “sue your ass off” if Donald Trump’s interview with the “CBS Evening News” anchor didn’t air in full, The New York Times reported Saturday.

Leavitt approached Dokoupil soon after Trump finished filming a 13-minute interview this week with a message from the president. “He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,” Ms. Leavitt said, as understood by the Times.

“Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Mr. Dokoupil answered.

She then added, “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’”

The White House and CBS have not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
