Hillary Clinton Hasn’t Held a News Conference in More Than 8 Months

HeadlineAug 22, 2016

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is taking criticism for not having held a news conference in more than eight months. This is Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook yesterday on CBS.

Robby Mook: “The real question here is whether Secretary Clinton has been taking questions from reporters, which she absolutely has. We went and counted, and she has been in more than 300 interviews with reporters this year alone. I know she’s been on your show. And we’re going to continue to do that. And there are a lot of different formats in which she can engage with reporters, whether it’s those one-on-one interviews, whether it’s talking with her traveling press and reporters, or a press conference. And we’re going to look at all of those as we move forward.”
