Lesley Stahl, who interviewed Donald Trump for the CBS US:CBS News program “60 Minutes” in November 2016, recalled at a press event Monday night a conversation with the then–president-elect that occurred away from the cameras, in Trump’s expansive office at Trump Tower.

Stahl told members and guests of the Society of Professional Journalists chapter in New York that she asked Trump in that pre-interview discussion whether, having won the race for the White House, it wasn’t perhaps time to quit hammering the press as he had done at his campaign rallies.
