CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss' decision to pull the segment from Sunday's episode sparked criticism, including from the correspondent behind the reporting.

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.

CBS News announced it would pull a “60 Minutes” report about the Trump administration sending detainees to a maximum security “mega prison” in El Salvador just hours before its scheduled broadcast Sunday.

The 60 Minutes segment that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss prevented from airing Sunday has been leaked.
