While the interview is unlikely to shed new light on Donald Trump’s conduct or character, it could work against Trump if he demonstrates contempt toward the probation officer.

The latest CBS News poll, which comes as President Biden ended his D-Day trip to France and former President Trump campaigned in two battleground states, shows the two candidates in a virtual tie in the presidential race. A majority of likely voters said in the poll Trump's conviction is not a major factor in the election.

After holding his first rally since his conviction over the weekend in Las Vegas, former President Donald Trump is preparing to virtually meet with probation officers from Mar-a-Lago, sources say.

STORY: :: Trump promises to end taxes on tips, an appeal to Las Vegas' service workers :: June 9, 2024 @9310 1:15-1:50 :: Donald Trump, Republican Presidential Candidate “So, this is the first time I've said this. And for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you are going to be very happy, because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips. We're not going to do it, and we're going to do that right away. First thing in office, because it’s been a point of contention for years and years and years, and you do a great job of service, you take care of people. And I think it's going to be something that really is deserved.” :: Las Vegas, Nevada @9310 ~2:40-2:58 :: Donald Trump, Republican Presidential Candidate “The first thing we're going to do is we're going to close that border tight as a drum, and we’re going to let people come in, but only legals. The second thing we're going to do about 5 minutes later, doesn't take long, we’re gonna drill, we’re gonna cut your energy costs in half.” Trump also once again valorized his supporters convicted for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, calling them "warriors" and suggesting a possible counter-investigation into the event if he were re-elected. The pledge on tips, revealed at a sweltering outdoor rally in Las Vegas where temperatures reached 100 degrees, adds one more detail to a Trump tax plan that has included vague pledges of tax relief to middle-income workers and small businesses. "So this is the first time I've said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips you're going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips people (are) making," Trump told a crowd of several thousand people. Trump said he would "do that right away, first thing in office," and noted in prepared remarks that he would seek legislation in Congress to make the change. "You do a great job of service, you take care of people and I think it's going to be something that really is deserved."

Donald Trump held a rally in the crucial state of Nevada, the first campaign event after a jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in the "hush money" trial.

STORY: As they concluded their trip to France, the Bidens visited Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in Belleau, about 85 kilometers (50 miles) east of Paris, to pay respects to U.S. soldiers and marines killed during World War One. "The idea that we're able to avoid being engaged in major battles in Europe is just not realistic," Biden told reporters. "That is why it's so important, the alliances that we have." Biden, a Democrat, is running against Trump, a Republican, for reelection in November. Trump's White House said in 2018 that the then-president, who was also on a trip to France, could not visit the cemetery because of bad weather. His chief of staff at the time, John Kelly, a retired general, attended instead, in light rain. Without mentioning Trump by name, Biden said he would not have come to Normandy without also visiting Aisne-Marne. "America showed up. America showed up to stop the Germans, America showed up to make sure that they did not prevail, and America shows up when we're needed," Biden said.

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump appeared to suggest that if re-elected in November, he may seek revenge for his criminal prosecutions.

For the first time since he was convicted in his New York criminal trial, former President Donald Trump hit the campaign trail in the battleground state of Arizona. Trump is teasing a vice presidential pick, saying he may announce his running mate during the party convention next month.

Donald Trump and his allies have been calling for retaliatory actions against Democrats in the wake of his felony conviction. CBS News campaign reporter Olivia Rinaldi has more.

STORY: Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case is on hold indefinitely...according to a court order Wednesday... ... while an appeals court hears the former president's attempt to disqualify the lead prosecutor, Fani Willis. It is the latest indication that this case, one of four facing Trump as he seeks to unseat President Joe Biden and return to the White House... ...will not go to trial before the Nov. 5 presidential election. Trump and eight co-defendants allege Willis had a conflict of interest being involved in a romantic relationship with a former top deputy, whom she hired to work on the probe. A Georgia appeals court earlier scheduled to hear arguments in October whether to remove her. Wednesday's order also freezes other aspects of the case ... ...like pre-trial legal issues during the appeal, raised by the judge overseeing the case, Scott McAfee. Prosecutors have also signaled they will appeal a prior ruling that tossed out some criminal counts in the indictment, and that, too, would take months to resolve. Trump and 14 co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges... ...in what prosecutors allege was a scheme to overturn Trump's narrow defeat in Georgia in the 2020 election. Legal challenges also bog down two other federal cases against Trump... ...one on Trump trying to overturn his defeat and the other his mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. Last week Trump became the first former U.S. President to be convicted of a felony, over his hush-money case involving porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump has vowed to appeal that verdict.

The Georgia Court of Appeals is putting the case on hold while it reviews a lower court's decision to let Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis stay on the case.

In some the final primary elections of 2024, a decent percentage of voters preferred someone other than Trump or Biden.
