The Two Sides to Pelley's Firing

Bari Weiss told the staff at 60 Minutes that Scott Pelley was gone. “I’m only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect; we cannot do our work without it,” Ms. Weiss said on the morning editorial call. She then said, “Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways.”

But, Scott Pelley says that Weiss is lying. Pelley released this statement.
