White House press secretary tells CBS ‘we’ll sue your ass off’ if it edits Trump interview Karoline Leavitt was recorded warning network to broadcast new interview with president in full and without edits

They should go ahead without touching it. I remember as a young reporter being told of the local councillor who insisted that his speech be reported verbatim. And so it was. Without any editorial 'tidying', it was so incoherent that he never asked again.
