KATU News' exclusive one-on-one interview with Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber ended abruptly Thursday when the station's interviewer asked about problems with the Cover Oregon website.

Kitzhaber's staff walked him out only four minutes after the interview began when the governor was asked whether he knew about problems with Carolyn Lawson, the chief information officer for Cover Oregon.

Lawson was responsible for the technical development of the Cover Oregon website, a state-run online marketplace where Oregonians could find and purchase health insurance. She resigned for “personal reasons” in November. Rocky King, the exchange's executive director, submitted his resignation last week.

Kitzhaber's staff suggested the station call Cover Oregon’s public-relations staff.
