For a week, the world has waited: When would “60 Minutes” air its interview with porn star Stormy Daniels alleging an affair with President Trump? CBS has been silent. Now there is a planned date, March 25, according to two people familiar with the timing.

CBS News officially offered little information about the “60 Minutes” interview. Network president David Rhodes has made no official statement. CBS declined to comment on whether it made any legal arrangement with Daniels. It also declined to say whether it has received any legal threats from Trump or his attorneys, leaving open the possibility that there is behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
On Tuesday, Rhodes seemed to quell such speculation when he told a gathering at the Innovative TV conference in Jerusalem that the interview has not yet run because of routine editorial procedures. The entertainment magazine Variety covered that event and posted an online report. CBS confirmed the accuracy of Rhodes’s remarks and subsequently posted its own story, crediting Variety.
“The only reason it hasn’t run is that there’s still a lot of journalistic work to do,” Rhodes said, according to Variety. “The encounter between Anderson Cooper and Stormy Daniels was accompanied also by conversations with attorneys, documents were provided, and so we have to run all that down before it runs.”

Sweat..
Stormy Daniels' lawyer was just on Morning Joe today saying that she was threatened with bodily harm. Not clear if it was a member of the Trump family, or somebody else who made the threats.
I'm sure 60 Minutes will want to include that into the original story, if they can. They have to check this out and get it cleared before putting it on the air.
