Anchor Scott Pelley, who had similarly pushed back against changes implemented by Weiss, soon followed.<\/p>\n<p>The latest accusations come only weeks after the new <i>60 Minutes<\/i> executive producer, Nick Bilton, a Weiss pick, sought to steady the newsroom with a memo promising to shield its editorial autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe foundation of <i>60 Minutes<\/i> is its journalistic independence,\u201d the former New York Times and Vanity Fair writer told staff\u2014insisting that the story would always come before politics or relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Weiss has reportedly already punctured that pledge, multiple people briefed on the matter told Breaker. The contested segment focuses on Nigel Farage, the Trump ally who leads Britain\u2019s far-right Reform UK party.<\/p>\n<p>Senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams, who joined the network in 2012, and producer Erin Lyall first pitched the story in May. It was approved by Simon prior to her departure at the end of that month. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3210\">MAGA Stars Turn Against Each Other in Heated On-Air Clash<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Weiss has since pulled the assignment off William and instead handed it to Trevor Phillips, a U.K. Sky News veteran she recruited to the network in June, Breaker\u2019s sources say.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips arrived at CBS trailing controversy, given that he has faced allegations of Islamophobia and that he defended Peter Mandelson, a friend of the late Jeffrey Epstein, following his ouster as U.K. ambassador to Washington last year over his ties to the sex trafficker. <\/p>\n<p>Williams apparently learned she\u2019d been booted from the story on a call with Weiss while the correspondent was reporting from Lebanon. Phillips has since struggled to staff the piece. Almost none of the program\u2019s seasoned producers will touch it, citing his checkered record, Breaker reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Trump ally Farage has meanwhile faced mounting scrutiny at home over eye-watering undisclosed payments from high-net-worth individuals and, in at least one case, a convicted criminal. The politician announced Tuesday he\u2019d be resigning in the face of backlash to those donations\u2014if only, bizarrely, to run again for exactly the same seat he\u2019s now vacated.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, Bilton has apparently shown far less bravado than he did upon arriving at the network in May, when a batch of his early remarks about editorial direction deeply unsettled his colleagues, according to Breaker. Associates say that Bilton knows the relaunch of <i>60 Minutes<\/i> in September will draw close scrutiny\u2014not just from viewers, but from rivals across the industry.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A CBS News spokesperson declined to provide Breaker with a statement on the claims about the Farage report. The Daily Beast has contacted the network for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3208\">CNN Humiliates Trump With Brutal Montage of Receipts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insiders have accused the MAGA-friendly editor-in-chief at CBS News of interfering in a report on a key Donald Trump ally abroad.
