Donald Trump reacted sharply during his 60 Minutes interview after CBS journalist Norah O’Donnell pressed him about the manifesto linked to the suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. O’Donnell asked whether the language in the note — which used severe accusations without naming him — concerned him. Trump dismissed the document as “radicalised” and said the media was trying to “push a story that does not exist”.
He repeated that he had “never committed sexual violence” and accused O’Donnell of amplifying claims he said were false. The exchange grew tense as Trump insisted the manifesto had “nothing to do with him” and criticised the line of questioning as politically motivated.
The interview clip spread widely online, with viewers focusing on the contrast between O’Donnell’s persistent questioning and Trump’s firm refusal to engage with the implications of the suspect’s note. The discussion has added to the scrutiny surrounding the attack, the suspect’s motives, and the political atmosphere around the dinner.
