According to reports in the American media, Trump abandoned the interview during a break in filming and refused to return from it to be photographed with his deputy, Mike Pence.
In a tweet posted on his Twitter account, the president wrote that "everyone should compare this horrible election intervention with the recent interviews of the sleepy Joe Biden."
Biden, the Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States, was also interviewed by CBS, along with his deputy Camela Harris, and the interview with them is due to be published in a special episode of the veteran investigative program.
I am pleased to inform you that, for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I am considering posting my interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, PRIOR TO AIRTIME!
This will be done so that everybody can get a glimpse of what a FAKE and BIASED interview is all about ...

At a rally in the state of Pennsylvania after the interview ended, Trump told his supporters who came to the venue that "you must see what we did for '60 minutes, 'you will enjoy it very much. Leslie Stahl (the journalist who interviewed him, AA) will not be happy about it."
In a video posted by Trump on his Twitter account, Stahl is seen wearing a mask and talking to two producers after she finished interviewing the president.
However, the American media reported that Stahl wore a mask on her face even before she arrived at the White House, and that it was removed just a moment before the interview with the American president began.
Meanwhile, the Federal Election Commission last night released the budget data for Trump's election campaign, and according to these, it turns out that the president's budget is significantly lower than that of his rival, Biden.
According to the data, Trump's campaign account has $ 63 million at the end of September, after spending $ 139 million that month.
In August, the campaign had $ 121 million in the account.
