Former Governor Pawlenty Comes To Romney's Defense

Posted: Updated:

Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is defending Romney's refusal to make a wide-ranging release of his tax returns. Pawlenty, whose name has figured prominently in speculation about the Republican vice presidential selection process, tells ``CBS This Morning'' he thinks the news media have been obsessed by questions surrounding Romney's taxes. The former two-term Minnesota governor says Romney has released tax records for the last two years and that is what is standard for Republican nominees.
