Veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley is pushing back against CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss’s description of the events leading to his departure from the network, disputing her claim that efforts were made to repair a fractured relationship before he was fired.

It came after Weiss addressed staff during a Wednesday editorial meeting, where she attributed the split to a breakdown in trust and mutual respect within the newsroom.
