FCC commissioner Nathan Simington explained if CBS could be in hot water over the now-infamous '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Federal Communications Commission commissioner Nathan Simington said his priority is making sure the public was not misled after an accusation of 'significant and intentional news distortion' in a formal complaint regarding the '60 Minutes' interview last week with Vice President Kamala Harris. 'This complaint might come before the commission for adjudication,' Simington told Fox News Digital.
