Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says CBS News has effectively pushed her out after she refused to alter her explosive report on the Trump administration's deportation of Venezuelan men to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison — and stood her ground against network boss Bari Weiss.Alfonsi's contract expired earlier this month, and CBS News executives have made no effort to contact her representatives at talent agency UTA to negotiate a renewal, according to Variety. Her producers have been reassigned. She remains an at-will CBS employee and will continue to be paid, but she can no longer do the work of a working correspondent."I think it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize accurate reporting," Alfonsi told the New York Times.The clash with Weiss, CBS News's controversial editor in chief, erupted in December when Weiss pulled the "Inside CECOT" segment hours before it was set to air, saying it needed comment from a Trump administration official — even though Alfonsi's team had already invited the White House, DHS, and State Department to participate. All declined.In an internal memo, Alfonsi warned that making government participation a condition of airing a story would hand the administration a "kill switch" over 60 Minutes' journalism. The segment finally aired in January, but in a low-viewership slot opposite the NFL playoffs.Weiss arrived at CBS after Paramount paid Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, a move widely seen as a concession to secure FCC approval of Skydance's $8 billion takeover of the network.

The cabinet meeting comes a day after the United States carried out what the military calls "self-defense" strikes against Iran.
Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York spoke on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday about the Iran war, saying, “I think we’re in something in the middle between war and peace with Iran.” “The ceasefire lasted longer than the war itself. The president obviously does not want to resume full-scale hostilities, and there continues to […]
Bondi, who was diagnosed shortly after being ousted in April, is also joining the White House's new advisory council on AI.
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after President Donald Trump removed her from the Justice Department last month, according to Axios.Bondi, 60, underwent treatment and is recovering, a source told the outlet. The diagnosis came weeks after Trump ousted her as AG in early April — a departure he framed warmly in a Truth Social post calling her "a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend."Katie Miller, a former White House communications staffer and wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, effectively confirmed the news Tuesday evening when she posted on X: "Pam has been quietly kicking cancer's ass the last few weeks."Miller added that Bondi "has a heart of gold."Despite the health battle, Bondi is now returning to the fold. Trump has appointed her to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a high-profile AI policy panel co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and science adviser Michael Kratsios. The panel also includes tech heavyweights like Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.Bondi will be tasked with facilitating coordination between the federal government and the tech executives on the panel. She will also serve in a newly established advisory role focused on national infrastructure."Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president's team, and I'm thrilled for her and for all of us that she's going to remain involved," Vice President JD Vance said in a statement to Axios.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has served as acting attorney general since Bondi's departure in early April.
