Barbara Walters may have gotten the mistress, but Anderson Cooper got the grand prize Sunday ... a sit down with Donald Sterling ... TMZ has learned.
Cooper flew in to Los Angeles this morning, checked into his hotel, and made a bee-line to Sterling's Beverly Hills house, where the interview went down.
Before the interview, Sterling met with his lawyer, who was present during the interview with Cooper.
One sources tells us the interview is scheduled to air Monday.
TMZ shot video of Anderson leaving the house after the interview, but he was mum.
Our sources say Sterling has been chomping at the bit to publicly defend himself against racism allegation after TMZ Sports posted the now famous recording.
This was Anderson's second bite at the apple -- last week, he tried convincing Sterling to do the interview ... but failed.
Stay tuned ...
