Veteran journalist Scott Pelley has been fired by CBS News following a public confrontation with the new leadership team overseeing “60 Minutes,” escalating a growing civil war inside one of America’s most influential television news programs.

Pelley, a CBS News fixture since 1989 and a “60 Minutes” correspondent since 2004, was terminated Tuesday, just one day after a heated staff meeting in which he accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the iconic newsmagazine. Multiple news organizations confirmed Pelley’s firing and the circumstances surrounding it.

Showdown Erupts During Staff.

The manhunt for former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s ex-chief of staff ended yesterday in Knoxville, Tennessee, following a confrontation with the FBI.

The chase for Roy McGrath kicked off with the FBI executing a search warrant at his Florida home after he failed to appear in Baltimore for the start of his criminal trial.

McGrath was wanted on corruption charges for allegedly defrauding a state-operated agency out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The former aide pled not guilty and secured pre-trial release.

McGrath’s attorney told CNN the FBI confirmed his client “succumbed to the injuries inflicted earlier in the evening.” The FBI said in a statement McGrath died after an “agent-involved shooting.”

CBS detailed the charges against McGrath at the start of law enforcement’s three-week pursuit:

CNN has more:

The FBI said in a statement earlier Monday that it was “reviewing an agent-involved shooting which occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 3, 2023. During the arrest the subject, Roy McGrath, sustained injury and was transported to the hospital.”

The bureau, the statement said, “takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under investigation by the FBI’s Inspection Division.”

The bureau did not provide any additional details on the arrest.

McGrath was initially charged with wire fraud and embezzlement from an organization receiving more than $10,000 in federal benefits, and a superseding indictment returned in June 2022 also charged him with falsifying records. On the state level, he faced felony theft charges and a violation of the state’s wiretap law, the Justice Department said.

    10,000 dollars and he is dead? The Biden family has received how many millions? They’re still alive.

      Wonder if he knew something the government didn’t want the public to learn about !

      Joe knows that he doesn’t have to worry since he is a Democrat. They don’t get prosecuted; or, persecuted for that matter.

    Hard to believe that trained agents found need to shoot at a person that as far as the post informs us did not have a weapon nor was ever in military training, etc. What could possibly cause a trained agent to shoot an unarmed person? Sen. Jim Jordan is right – the FBI needs to be defunded.
