NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl -- whose contentious interview with President Trump aired last Sunday -- is now receiving "around-the-clock security" after a death threat was made to the home of a family member on the West Coast, TMZ reported Tuesday.

1010 WINS has reached out to CBS News for comment.

The security includes monitoring the homes of Stahl and family members, as well as escorting them in public, according to the report.

The death threat -- reported to the LAPD last Thursday morning -- was directed toward Stahl and her family and included a reference to neo-Nazis, TMZ reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Although the the threat came before the "60 Minutes" interview aired on Sunday, it came a few days after news broke that Trump had cut the interview short because he found Stahl's questions unfair. He also mocked her for not wearing a mask.
