Having apparently run out of things to do, President Donald Trump reposted a video to Truth Social late Friday night that revived an old chestnut of a conspiracy theory from 2019 that claimed CBS was suppressing footage from his 2015 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The pixelated video is accompanied by text that reads, “You are not supposed to see this video. CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either.” However, Trump’s appearance is readily available on YouTube, where it was uploaded soon after the episode aired in September 2015, including by accounts not affiliated with CBS. As for the entire episode, as CBS told the Associated Press when it fact-checked the same conspiracy theory six years ago, full episodes of the show are only available for up to 30 days after the initial air date. Conspiracy solved!
