Nick Bilton, the new Executive Producer of 60 Minutes, fired longtime correspondent Scott Pelley following a contentious staff meeting on Monday.

Pelley’s ouster is the latest in a series controversies at CBS News since the network’s owners hired Bari Weiss to take over as Editor-in-Chief last year.
