Scott Pelley, a correspondent for '60 Minutes,' is reportedly nearing a departure from CBS News following a closed-door meeting with the network's leadership. According to Dylan Byers of Puck, Pelley sought to discuss a 'path forward' after expressing concerns during a recent all-hands meeting. However, the meeting did not result in an agreement, leading to speculation that Pelley may either resign or be terminated. This information was corroborated by CNN's Brian Stelter. Additionally, Pelley has been informed by CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss that he allegedly created a 'hostile work environment' and has been asked to write an apology letter, which he is reportedly unwilling to do.
