Bari Weiss, the editor-in-chief at Trump-friendly CBS News, is causing major tensions inside the network’s flagship program, prompting one star to consider her future on the show, according to a report.

Veteran60 Minutescorrespondent Lesley Stahl is said to be irate at how Weiss “upstaged” her by bookingIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahufor an interview, only to hand it to CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett to conduct, according to Status.

Garrett is not a60 Minutescorrespondent, and Stahl has spent months attempting to secure an interview with Netanyahu for the magazine show herself. After learning that Weiss had booked Netanyahu and handed it over to Garrett, there was a feeling that the CBS News boss had “effectively gone around” Stahl and the60 Minutesteam to secure the high-profile sit-down.

This is not even the first time that the MAGA-curious CBS News editor has bypassed60 Minutesstaff. In March, Weiss bookedDefense Secretary Pete Hegsethand also assigned Garrett to conduct the softball interview, rather than one of60 Minutes’actual correspondents.

Stahl is reportedly so disillusioned by the handling of the Netanyahu interview that she is considering leaving the show altogether.

The 84-year-old’s contract is year-to-year and is set to expire at the end of the current season of60 Minutes. She is weighing whether to sign on for another season in the wake of Weiss going behind her back to book an interview she had been seeking for months, only for it to be assigned elsewhere.

A CBS spokesperson told Status: “It’s the editor in chief’s job to make decisions about bookings and interviews. Major is a world-class journalist and did a tough, fair, and newsmaking interview.”

60 Minutes, which has already lost its biggest star, Anderson Cooper, could soon lose another correspondent as Weiss plans major changes to the show.

Status previously reported that Weiss and Sharyn Alfonsi have repeatedly clashed over the controversial 11th-hour pulling of an“Inside CECOT”60 Minutessegment about the notorious El Salvador prison.

Alfonsi’s contract at the network is set to expire at the end of May, but there have reportedlybeen no talks to renew it, despite negotiations normally taking place several months before top stars’ contracts are due to lapse.
