The decision to relent and hand over the full transcript comes after the new commissioner of the FCC, Brendan Carr, re-opened a news distortion complaint against the network and sent a formal demand for the transcript and camera feeds from the interview.

CBS News has turned over the transcript of its interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission, which has been pursuing the document for an investigation into favorable editing - but any settlement won't include an apology from "60 Minutes" executive editor Bill Owens.

Robby Soave and Lynda Tran discuss the FCC demanding that CBS turn over the transcript of its interview last year with then-candidate Kamala Harris.

The agency said all direct hires, “with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions,” would be placed on administrative leave.
