Trump criticizes 60 Minutes anchor over reading alleged gunmans manifesto

Former US President Donald Trump has publicly criticized a “60 Minutes” anchor for reading from an alleged gunman’s manifesto during a recent interview.

According to reports, the anchor read excerpts from the manifesto of the suspect in the Buffalo supermarket shooting, which occurred in May 2022. The incident resulted in the deaths of ten people and injured several others.

Trump took issue with the anchor’s decision to share parts of the manifesto, stating that it was “inappropriate” for the program to do so. Trump claimed that sharing such content would be “harmful” and “unfair” to the victims’ families.

The incident has sparked debate about the responsibility of media outlets in handling sensitive topics like mass shootings and their aftermath. The “60 Minutes” anchor has since defended their decision, stating that they aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the events by sharing relevant information.

Details of the shooting have been extensively reported on by various news sources, including official investigations and statements from law enforcement agencies.
