Trump Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway Opens Up on CBS SUNDAY MORNING, 3/5

President Donald Trump's senior advisor Kellyanne Conway talks with CBS SUNDAY MORNING about her work in the White House, Mr. Trump as a leader, her credibility and the impact her new job is having on her family, in an interview to be broadcast Sunday, March 5 (9:00 AM ET) on the CBS Television Network.

CBS THIS MORNING co-host Norah O'Donnell sat down with Conway in her family's northern New Jersey home last weekend and again on Wednesday at the White House. In a candid interview, Conway talked about being held to a "triple standard" as a conservative woman, and how she now has to monitor what her children see online because of the incessant attacks on her and the Trump administration.

Asked at one point by O'Donnell if there was anything that would make her leave the White House, Conway says it would be her children.

"They're having the hardest time with this," Conway tells O'Donnell. "They're great kids, but they're really the worst ages for a mom to be here and away from them, 12, 12, eight and seven. And 24/7 Secret Service protection is tough for them. It's tough for them to think about when I'm away from them and why does she have that. And so I don't - this is all new for us. This is not something I sought. I'm not a famous person on TV. And, but, they're struggling because it's just different to not have a mom there as much as they're used to even though I've always worked. This is an entirely different level."

In the wide-ranging interview, O'Donnell also questions Conway about the controversy surrounding her inaccurate reference to a non-existent Bowling Green Massacre, which Conway describes as an honest mistake. They also discuss Conway's reference to "alternative facts."

"Well, it was alternative information and additional facts," Conway says when pressed on the meaning of "alternative facts." "And that got conflated. But, you know, respectfully, Norah, I see mistakes on TV every single day and people just brush them off. Everybody thinks it's just so funny that the wrong - the wrong movie was, you know, heralded as the winner of the Oscars."

CBS SUNDAY MORNING is broadcast Sundays (9:00-10:30 AM ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.
