Following Donald Trump and other conservatives claiming for weeks that the Oct. 7 “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris had been deceptively edited, the program released a statement refuting those claims on Sunday and called them “false.”

The network explained that the network’s “Face the Nation” had used “a longer section of [Harris’] answer” to a question than “60 Minutes” chose to during its broadcast earlier this month.

“Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response,” the “60 Minutes” statement reads. “When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point.
