10/19/2025: The Dealmakers, Erez Reuveni, Amy Sherald

Author: CBS News October 20, 2025 Duration: 43:02
After a historic Middle East peace deal was signed last week, correspondent Lesley Stahl sits down for an exclusive interview with President Trump’s envoys and the leading brokers of the agreement: Jared Kushner, former White House advisor and son-in-law of the president, and Steve Witkoff, Middle East envoy under Trump. Kushner and Witkoff discuss their unconventional deal-driven approach, including meeting Hamas in person, and the next phase of the 20-point peace plan, which aims to tackle thorny issues like disarmament, aid, troop pullback, rebuilding, and postwar governance. Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on the tense relationship between the Department of Justice and the courts. Pelley speaks with Erez Reuveni, a 15-year Justice Department attorney - in his first television interview – about a pattern of troubling behavior he says he witnessed before he was fired. Correspondent Anderson Cooper profiles painter Amy Sherald, best known for her portrait of Michelle Obama. He traces her rise from obscurity to becoming one of America’s most celebrated living artists. Sherald explains why she canceled her own career retrospective at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, and reflects on the resilience behind her vibrant, optimistic work.
