The report will unpack the findings of a two-year investigation into President Donald Trump, his aides, allies, and associates, answering the question of whether the then-candidate and his campaign coordinated with the Kremlin to win the White House and if the president obstructed justice.
The special will bore in on why the Special Counsel was not able to exonerate the President on obstruction of justice. CBS News journalists will also report on what’s ahead for the President, what’s ahead for Capitol Hill and the ongoing investigation in the Southern District of New York. CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor will host the special, with reports by 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, CBS This Morning co-Hosts Norah O’Donnell and John Dickerson, CBS chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett, correspondent Paula Reid, Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes, Justice and Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues, and, from Russia, Elizabeth Palmer.
When the news of the summary broke, all three broadcast networks interrupted their programming. CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor broke the news during the network’s coverage of the annual NCAA “March Madness” men’s basketball tournament.
