Bannon to sit down with Charlie Rose on ‘60 Minutes’

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon will sit down with Charlie Rose for a “60 Minutes” interview to air this Sunday. 

“Stephen K. Bannon, President Donald Trump’s chief strategist until a few weeks ago, will appear in his first television interview on this Sunday’s 60 MINUTES on the CBS Television Network,” the network said in a statement.

Bannon met with Rose on Wednesday to take part in his first extended interview since leaving the White House. 

The former Navy officer and Goldman Sachs investment banker is currently serving as executive chairman of Breitbart News, a position he held for years before signing on as chief executive of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Since his return to Breitbart, the site has increasingly targeted presidential advisers and Trump family members Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, along with national security adviser H.R. McMaster, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). 

“If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents — on Capitol Hill, in the media and in corporate America,” Bannon told Bloomberg News following his departure from the Trump administration.

Rose has been a co-anchor of “CBS This Morning” for the past six years and has hosted an interview program in his name on PBS since 1993.
