CBS has reportedly hired full-time security for “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl after a family member received a death threat over her interview with President Trump.
An unidentified suspect called Stahl’s home Thursday, just hours before the president released his own copy of the interview on Facebook, and threatened her and her family and “said something about neo-Nazis,” TMZ reported Tuesday.
The Los Angeles Police Department would not confirm whether an investigation has been launched.
Stahl, 78, now reportedly has security guards at her home and with her whenever she goes out in public.
A spokesperson for CBS did not immediately return the Daily News’ request for comment.
Trump stringently objected to Stahl’s “tough” questions in the taped sit-down before he eventually stormed out, cutting off the scheduled interview before a planned walk-and-talk around the White House grounds.
