CBS News policy requires employees to step aside if they engage in political activity. “Oprah Winfrey and CBS News have agreed that she will step away from her contributor role at 60 Minutes during this campaign season, in keeping with CBS News standards,” the network said in a statement. CBS News didn't say when Oprah will return to her special contributor role, which she began on 60 Minutes in early 2017.
