President Donald Trump was interviewed at the White House on Wednesday by CBN's Pat Robertson, marking his first interview with an outlet other than Fox News since May.

Their discussion will air in its entirety on "The 700 Club" Thursday on CBN, Mediaite reports.

The last time Trump spoke with a non-conservative outlet was his sit-down with NBC anchor Lester Holt on May 11, the same week he fired FBI Director James Comey. Since then, he has only done a spare amount of interviews with Fox News hosts.

CBN has already released some excerpts of his interview with Robertson, a longtime televangelist who ran for president in 1988. Trump discussed meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said it only made sense for the two powerful countries to have a relationship.

He also touted the ceasefire in Syria that came out of their meeting, and he said that Putin would have really preferred Hillary Clinton to win the election instead of him.
