In first 15 minutes, Stahl’s comment about Trump’s smaller rally crowds appears to have set him off more than anything else. https://twitter.com/chrismegerian/status/1319303769901981701
After the back and forth on Trump’s nonexistent healthcare plan, Stahl’s pushback on Hunter Biden stuff gets to him:

DT: “He’s in a huge scandal.”

LS: “He’s not.”

...

DT: “They spied on my campaign!”

LS: “There’s no real evidence of that.”

DT: “Of course there is.“
(cont.)

LS: “This is 60 Minutes. We can’t put on something we can’t verify.”

DT: “No you won’t put it on because it’s bad for Biden.”

LS: “But we cant verify.”

DT: “It’s been totally verified. Just go down and get the papers.”
On the laptop..

LS: “The source is Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani.”

DT: “I don’t know anything about that.”

[more claims]

LS: “All these things have been investigated and discredited.”

DT: “It’s incredible how you can sit there and say that and look me in the eye.”
Agitated, Trump says Stahl doesn’t want to cover “the biggest scandal” and wants to talk about “insignificant things.”

Note: She has spent most of the first 30 minutes on the pandemic and healthcare.
DT: “I never said it, Lesley...that’s such a vicious thing you’re saying. I never said lock up the governor of Michigan. Why would I say that?”
