Hillary Clinton's campaign officials insisted Wednesday that the Democratic presidential nominee's dozens of State Department meetings with donors to her family foundation don't present a conflict of interest.

Chief strategist Joel Benenson said the Associated Press report was 'cherry-picking' Clinton's long-hidden schedules from her time as secretary of state.

Campaign manager Robby Mook used the exact same word to describe the blockbuster article that dominated Tuesday afternoon's news cycle.

The AP determined that more than half of Clinton's scheduled meetings and phone calls with non-governmental personnel during her time at State were with donors to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Those contributors poured $156 million into the foundation's coffers, according to the AP.

'They took a small sliver of her tenure as secretary of state, less than half the time, less than a fraction of the meetings, fewer than I think 3 percent, Benenson complained Wednesday on CNN's 'New Day' program.

Clinton, he said, 'met with over 17,000 world leaders, countless other government officials, public officials in the United States.'

But it was the 154 nongovernmental meetings on Clinton's books that drew the AP's interest. Of those, 85 were with Clinton foundation donors.

Benenson claimed drawing a conclusion from that smaller subset of meetings was 'one of the most massive misrepresentations you could see from the data.'

'And then they're trying to malign and implicate that there was some, something nefarious going on when, in fact, there wasn't.'

'People give donations to this foundation because they believe in the work of this foundation,' Benenson added, but blasted the AP for basing its story on 'a completely flawed premise.'

On MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' Mook insisted Clinton 'doesn't have a conflict of interest,' and pointed to the Clinton Foundation's decision to stop accepting foreign donations – at least to its flagship office.

'Hillary Clinton doesn't have a conflict of interest with charitable work,' he said, before deflecting the question into an attack on her Republican rival.

'We need to look a lot more closely at Donald Trump if we're going to drill this deep on Hillary Clinton,' he said.

'By our count, there were over 1,700 other meetings that she had,' Mook complained.

'She was secretary of state, she was meeting with foreign officials and government officials constantly. So to pull all of them out of the equation [and] cherry-pick a very small number of meetings is very outrageous.'

The Associated Press also flagged $170 million in Clinton Foundation donations from at least 16 foreign governments whose representatives got face time with Clinton.

'They were not included in AP's calculations,' the news agency reported, 'because such meetings would presumably have been part of her diplomatic duties.'

Trump policy director Stephen Miller blasted Clinton in an email to reporters on Wednesday morning.

'Secretary Clinton, you claim the AP report is an incomplete accounting of your meetings. Why don’t you clear up any problems with the AP report by releasing all of your schedules from while you were in charge of the State Department?' he asked.

Trump himself uncorked on Clinton during a Tuesday night rally in Austin, Texas.

'It is a total embarrassment if our secretary of state can be bought or bribed or sold,' he said as a chorus of cheers rang out.

'It's a disgrace! This is a threat to the foundation of democracy. This is what happens in Third World countries.'

'Hillary Clinton is totally unfit to hold public office,' he added later. 'It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins. The specific crimes committed to carry out that enterprise are too numerous to cover in this speech.'
