Scalise to appear on ‘60 Minutes’

Greg Nash

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) will appear on CBS’s “60 Minutes” three months after he was shot at at a congressional baseball team practice. 

Norah O’Donnell will interview Scalise along with his wife, Jennifer, about the attack and his recovery during an interview that will air on Sunday. 

The third-ranking Republican in the House was shot in the hip and suffered broken bones, damage to his organs and internal bleeding after a gunman opened fire on the GOP baseball practice last June. 

{mosads}Scalise is learning to walk again after he spent weeks fighting for his life and battling infections at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. 

He was later transferred to a Washington, D.C., rehabilitation center. 

Scalise issued his first public remarks since the shooting last week, saying he could not wait to return to his home state of Louisiana. 

“I wish I could be there in person but I’m still recovering at a rehabilitation hospital and I can tell you, I cannot wait ’til the day that I can get back home,” Scalise said last Thursday.
