CBS has secured an exclusive interview with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the wake of a Ray Rice scandal that has left the league bruised and battered in recent days.
The interview, conducted by CBS' Norah O'Donnell, will partially air on Tuesday's "Evening News with Scott Pelley" and later in full on Wednesday's "This Morning."
"Evening News" exec producer Chris Licht tweeted a picture Tuesday afternoon of the interview.
Goodell and the NFL have been under heavy fire from the media for its handling of Rice's assault on his then-fiance Janay Palmer at an Atlantic City casino.
"We had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. We assumed that there was a video," Goodell told O'Donnell in the interview, but said the league was "never granted that opportunity."
TMZ released a graphic video of the assault on Monday which showed Rice knocking Palmer out in an elevator, resulting in the "indefinite" suspension of the Baltimore Ravens star. This coming less than a month after the NFL's much softer two-game suspension of Rice, who was also released by the Ravens.
According to reports, law enforcement officials and Rice's attorneys were provided the footage by the casino, which sparked several "cover-up" accusations in the media after the NFL released a statement echoing Goodell's comments on Monday claiming to have not seen the actual video, this despite footage released in February of the football star dragging Palmer by the hair through the lobby.
ESPN's Keith Olbermann, on Monday, called for Goodell's resignation.
