The White House reportedly sent CBS a statement that was not included in a controversial "60 Minutes" segment pulled shortly before it was set to air on Sunday.

The broadcaster said Sunday that the segment would be aired at a future date, a move that drew criticism from the correspondent behind the reporting.

Others, like 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon, who claims to have a “good working relationship” with Weiss, stood by the story and its lead correspondent, Sharyn Alfonsi, “100 percent.” Alfonsi sent a letter to colleagues about the situation earlier this week, arguing that Weiss’ reasons for pulling the story were political.

CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi was harshly critical of boss Bari Weiss for delaying her segment about a El Salvador prison where the Trump administration has sent illegal migrants.
