The Patrick Clancy Interview, Trump's Greenland Deal, and the Collapse of Trans Medicine

Patrick Clancy sat down with 60 Minutes in what Michael Knowles calls "one of the most important interviews to air in decades"—but not for the reasons anyone expected. There were no new details about Lindsey Clancy's crime, no revelations about her mental state leading up to the murders of their three children. Instead, the interview became something far rarer: a public display of unadorned human suffering, with no political crusade attached.

The shock came in what Clancy revealed about forgiveness. He told the interviewer he has forgiven his wife—but she has never asked for it. "I asked her if she remembered it," Clancy said.
