Karoline Leavitt told CBS News that if they edit Trump's interview, they will sue their a*s off.
Makes sense to us since CBS has been known to edit interviews to make people look smarter (hello, Kamala Harris) or dumber. We've seen what they've done with Trump interviews in the path so we hardly blame her for telling them not to FAFO.
They should listen.
Welp, seems someone leaked this audio and the left is losing the 2 marbles they have left:
🚨 NEW AUDIO: Karoline Leavitt just threatened CBS News over Trump’s interview:

“Air it in full… or we’ll sue your ass off.”
The White House is now openly trying to bully the media into compliance.
This isn’t “transparency.” It’s intimidation. pic.twitter.com/8pMBBJzYhC
Pushing for full transparency is bullying the media.
We're not sure he actually read what he wrote here - or maybe it sounded better in his head.
Leavitt: “Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape. Make sure the interview is out in full.”

Libs: “This isn’t transparency.”
Their minds have just rotted. https://t.co/ro8eJxeZ05
Rotted. That's a good word for it.
Airing full interviews is fascism.

Totally.
Reeee.
How is running the full interview not a good idea? Why would you want it edited. Read your tweet slowly & think. You may want to delete.

What part exactly is the threat?

None of it.
They're just not that bright.
