Story highlights Hillary Clinton's campaign spokesman says she has been accessible to the press

But she's not been nearly as available as he suggests

Oakland, California (CNN) Hillary Clinton's national press secretary on Sunday defended his candidate's lack of media availability by overstating the frequency and length with which Clinton speaks with her traveling press corps.

Clinton has not taken questions from her traveling press corps since May 9, when she held a short media availability in Stone Ridge, Virginia, after a roundtable at Mug-N-Muffin, a local coffee shop.

But Brian Fallon, Clinton's press secretary, said Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources" that Clinton "oftentimes" will end the day with a media availability where she will "literally stand there for 15, 20 minutes and answer questions from her traveling press corps, including the embeds from the various networks."

Fallon added, "The reality, bottom line, is that she's answering questions from the reporters that are covering her day to day."

Clinton, however, is far less accessible than any other candidate still in the presidential race and has not once taken questions for 15 to 20 minutes in 2016.
