President Donald Trump got snippy as he was pressed about a suspicious pardon for a cryptocurrency billionaire linked to his own family at the end of his latest "60 Minutes" interview — but that question got slashed out of the broadcast, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.

The question, asked by CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, related to clemency for Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, who pleaded guilty to money laundering violations before being let out of jail, at the same time the Trump family was expanding its business ventures into cryptocurrency and after they made a deal with C.Z. himself.

"This is a question about pardons," said O'Donnell. "The Trump family is now perhaps more associated with cryptocurrency than real estate. You and your son, your sons, Don Jr. and Eric, have formed World Liberty Financial with the Witkoff family, helping to make your family millions of dollars. It's in that context that I do want to ask you about crypto's richest man, a billionaire known as C.Z. He pled guilty in 2023 to violating anti-money laundering laws."

C.Z., noted the report, "previously struck a $2 billion deal with the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial."

"I don't know who he is," Trump cut in, but, "“I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that, and I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”

When O'Donnell asked Trump whether he was at all concerned about the appearance of corruption, he complained about the line of questioning. “I can’t say, because — I can’t say — I’m not concerned," said Trump. "I don’t — I’d rather not have you ask the question. But I let you ask it. You just came to me and you said, ‘Can I ask another question?’ And I said, yeah. This is the question.”

Key portions of this questioning, The Beast reported, did not make it into either the 28-minute TV edit or the 73-minute "extended" cut of the interview – despite the MAGA social media site bragging that it was a "full" interview.

The comments were found in a transcript on the 60 Minutes Overtime site, the Beast reported.

This comes after CBS agreed to a settlement with Trump over his lawsuit alleging they deceptively edited former Vice President Kamal Harris' campaign interview last year, and as the network comes under the new leadership of a Trump-sympathetic boss.
