CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi appears to be on her way out at the network, a culminating event sparked by a spiked segment that she had worked on last year, and a public clash with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.
Alfonsi told The New York Times that her contract with the network for 60 Minutes officially lapsed over the Memorial Day weekend, though she technically remains employed for now as an at-will employee.
“I’m not resigning,” she told the Times. “If they want me gone because I did my job, they’ll have to fire me.”
Alfonsi, of course, could also find employment elsewhere before CBS News makes any official move.
The segment, which was produced by Oriana Zill de Granados, was slated to air on the Dec. 21 installment, and featured Alfonsi speaking to Venezuelans who had been deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.
