New York (CNN Business) CBS News on Thursday called out the White House for violating an agreement it had with the network and posting President Trump's full "60 Minutes" interview online ahead of its Sunday air date.

"The White House's unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter '60 Minutes' from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades," CBS News said in a statement.

Trump posted the 38-minute interview on Facebook after spending days threatening to do so and lashing out at correspondent Lesley Stahl, who conducted the interview at the White House Tuesday. He later also posted Stahl's interview with Vice President Mike Pence.

CBS News has said the White House recorded the interview alongside the network, but agreed only to use the footage for archival purposes. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the agreement.

The President claimed in his Thursday Facebook post that the full video revealed "bias, hatred and rudeness" on Stahl's part. But the footage revealed no such thing, only showing Stahl asking firm questions about the coronavirus and other topics.

1. Can they sue the jerk?

2. I doubt CBS gives a damn.

Lesley wasn't rude or biased. He was rude and full of shit. If he thinks that tape helps him, he's an idiot.

Actually, he's an idiot no matter what he thinks.

[honest.abe]

4. Yeah probably.

Not worth the effort.

3. Killa Con confuses omnipotent with

impotent. He is one but not the other

[Cha]

5. KR

[gratuitous]

6. Shorter CBS News: We've learned nothing

No matter how many agreements Trump breaks, they're there to give Little Trumpy Foo Foo just one more chance to live up to his word.

7. Pig Boy should've talked to his boy Les Moonv..... oh wait, never mind... nt

8. CBS should spend the time playing clips and doing extensive fact checking. Make him wish he hadn't

double crossed them.

9. Who has the video of his little tiny baby hands lifting a glass of water?

It's so funny that he uses both hands and they look so tiny.

here is an article that shows his little baby hands clutching a glass of water.

10. They should just air the other 3 interviews and

totally ignore his. Make a comment at the end that Trump posted the interview and broke their agreement so re-airing it is redundant
