According to the show, Trump withdrew from the interview last week. Trump's campaign claimed it was never officially recorded.

But at the start of tonight's broadcast, Scott Pelley told viewers that Trump would be doing the interview at Mar-A-Lago on Thursday, and that the show had agreed to meet with Trump at his rally in Butler, Pa., over the weekend. He also said that Steven Cheung, Trump's communications director, sent a text message saying, "I'm working without an advance team to see if Butler would work logistically, in addition to the sit-down."

“A few days later, Cheung called to say, 'The president said yes.'”
