Defense Secretary Jim Mattis “could” be considering a departure, Saudis can expect “severe punishment” for any involvement in the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, and climate change is probably real, but not caused by man, President Trump said in an interview aired Sunday on CBS’ 60 Minutes.
The wide-ranging discussion with the network’s Lesley Stahl touched on Trump’s opinion of politicians (“deceptive, vicious”), Chinese tariffs and Christine Blasey Ford, among other things. The show interviewed him in the White House last Thursday; the interview aired on CBS on Sunday night.
