Veteran interviewer Charlie Rose spoke with Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer about his interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, revealing some details about the president’s first American TV interview in nearly two years.
Rose interviewed the Syrian president Sunday morning in Damascus asking him about the alleged use of chemical weapons on civilians in an attack on Aug. 21.
In the interview Rose said Assad “denied that he had anything to do with the attack… He said there’s not enough evidence yet to make a conclusive judgment.”
The interview comes as President Barack Obama continues rally support for limited military action in Syria over the alleged use of chemical weapons.
Rose’s interview with al-Assad will air beginning Monday on CBS This Morning, which Rose co-hosts. The full-length interview will air on PBS’ The Charlie Rose Show Monday night.
