President Donald Trump ’s first 60 Minutes interview in five years drew the newsmagazine’s largest audience in several years.

Sunday’s edition drew 14 million viewers, according to Nielsen’s big data plus panel ratings. That’s the highest same-day total for 60 Minutes since January 2021 and well ahead of the show’s season average of 8.93 million viewers. Norah O’Donnell’s interview with Trump took up about half of the show’s running time, edited down from a 90-minute session. ( CBS News put an extended, 73-minute cut of the interview on YouTube and the 60 Minutes Overtime site and published a complete transcript online.)
