President Donald Trump is harping on his failed "60 Minutes" interview that he walked off from after veteran CBS News host Lesley Stahl began asking him questions about the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday.
CNN reports Trump has been pushing his chief of staff to release the White House's recording of the interview, and barely minutes after that segment aired the President tweeted out photos of him with Stahl.
