Top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway appeared on CNN's "The Lead" Tuesday in a 25-minute interview with Jake Tapper where they discussed President Donald Trump's falsehoods and the administration's treatment of the press.

The interview included some concessions from Conway, who said she was "trying to reach out" and "put out the olive branch."
