60 Minutes CBS “The Dealmakers, Erez Reuveni, Amy Sherald” October 19 2025
This Sunday, October 19, 60 Minutes airs a new episode following NFL football, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+. The broadcast features three deeply reported segments covering international diplomacy, whistleblower claims inside the U.S. Justice Department, and the rise of a groundbreaking American artist.
The Dealmakers
In a headline-making exclusive, Lesley Stahl speaks with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, key architects of a historic new peace deal in the Middle East signed last week. Kushner, former White House advisor and son-in-law to President Trump, and Witkoff, the former Middle East envoy, open up about their unconventional diplomacy, which included in-person meetings with Hamas.
The segment breaks down the next phase of the 20-point plan, touching on highly sensitive issues such as disarmament, humanitarian aid, troop withdrawal, and postwar governance. The interview offers rare insight into how dealmaking, rather than traditional diplomacy, shaped this agreement.
Erez Reuveni
Scott Pelley reports on former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni, who speaks out for the first time since his controversial firing. A 15-year veteran of the Justice Department, Reuveni claims he witnessed a pattern of political interference and troubling conduct within the department.
This powerful whistleblower account reveals growing tension between the DOJ and the courts, raising questions about independence, ethics, and the cost of speaking out. Pelley’s interview explores not only the claims but also the emotional toll Reuveni’s ordeal has taken.
Amy Sherald
Anderson Cooper profiles renowned American artist Amy Sherald, best known for painting the iconic portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama. Sherald discusses her journey from obscurity to critical acclaim and why she made the bold decision to cancel her own retrospective at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.
Known for her bold colors and thoughtful representation of Black identity, Sherald opens up about her artistic philosophy, her struggles, and the messages behind her work. This intimate look at one of the country’s most celebrated living artists also offers rare insight into what fuels her creativity.
