Patrick Clancy to Appear on '60 Minutes' After Lindsay Clancy Trial
Confirmed
In Short: Patrick Clancy, whose ex-wife Lindsay was charged with murdering their three children, will appear on '60 Minutes' Sunday night. The interview, conducted by Ross Douthat, will air on CBS Television Network and Paramount Plus at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
Clancy testified early in Lindsay's trial, which ended in a mistrial after a hung jury. He has not made any public statements since the trial, but his lawyers have issued two statements.
The interview will address Clancy's memories of his children and the conspiracy theories that have circulated on social media since the trial.
Clancy and his wife, Dr. Danis, will both be interviewed. Clancy told Douthat that he still talks to his children, saying, 'All the time.' When asked if they help him, he replied, 'I like to believe they do.
The appearance comes just over two weeks after the mistrial was declared. Clancy's interview will be available on Paramount+ beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
Those without cable can stream the segment online through Paramount+, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, or Fubo.
The interview will also address the baseless conspiracy theories that have circulated about Clancy on social media.
Clancy's interview is part of the newly launched 59th season of '60 Minutes,' which returned to CBS on Sept. 13 with Bari Weiss at the helm.
The episode will provide a portrait of Clancy's life in the aftermath of the tragedy and what it's like to deal with such unimaginable grief as a father.
