Fired '60 Minutes' correspondent accuses CBS News leadership of meddling in reporting

Ousted "60 Minutes" correspondent Cecilia Vega spoke out against her former bosses at CBS News, alleging they had meddled in the show's reporting.

Vega, who was fired by the network in May, appeared Thursday at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists Conference & Expo in New Orleans. According to audio obtained by Status News, Vega decided to speak candidly about her experience despite initially being "scared" to do so.

"It's not that I just lost a job. There is a lot at stake," Vega said, per Status.
