A veteran "60 Minutes" producer is bolting after clashing with CBS News boss Bari Weiss over a "white genocide" story, per a new report.

Michael Gavshon worked alongside correspondent Anderson Cooper on a story that debunked Trump's claim of "white genocide" in South Africa, which left him exasperated, according to an exclusive by The New York Post. Gavshon announced that he'll leave the show at the end of June, per a memo obtained by the Post.

"The old chestnut, I have stood on the shoulders of giants, couldn't be more true," Gavshon wrote in the memo. He noted that he spent 34 years at "60 Minutes" and 41 years at CBS News.

The story drew heavy scrutiny from Weiss, who is also blamed for firing correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, executive producer Tanya Simon, executive editor Draggan Mihailovich, veteran producer Guy Campanile, and digital operations chief Matthew Polevoy, the Post reported.

Veteran correspondent Scott Pelley was also fired by "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton after confronting him and saying that Weiss is "murdering" the show.
