In an interview with MSNBC on Monday, anchor Kate Snow asked Mook five times if he knew about the diagnosis, which the Clinton campaign made public Sunday only after video surfaced of her stumbling and needing assistance getting into a van.

“I’m not going to get into details about who knew her medical information,” Mook said on Snow’s third run through the question. “But she made a determination with her doctor that she’d power through this. She didn’t want it to affect anything and obviously this on Sunday, when she got overheated, it was clear she needed some downtime.”

Snow followed up twice more, noting that as campaign manager, Mook is responsible for Clinton’s schedule. The Democratic nominee has cancelled a planned Monday/Tuesday West Coast swing for fundraisers and speeches as she recuperates at home in New York.

“I’m reading between the lines that the staff did not know she had pneumonia,” Snow said.

“Did the staff not know she had pneumonia, am I right about that?,” Snow asked in reply.

“All I’m saying is I hope you drill into this with the same detail as you’re drilling in with ours,” Mook said.

Even tho Fallon just said he knew on Friday (on same network, 3 hrs earlier). Very mixed messaging. https://t.co/MbveLB8eKP — Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) September 12, 2016

The Clinton campaign has been criticized for its handling of information about the nominee’s illness.

Last week, the campaign sought to shame journalists for reporting on her coughing fit at a campaign event.

And after Clinton left the 9/11 memorial early on Sunday and video emerged of her becoming wobbly on the street, it took 90 minutes for the campaign to release a statement saying she had “overheated” and retreated to daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment.

Campaign officials say she never lost consciousness, and insist that she was alert and continued working on the drive to Chelsea's apartment. They say that once she got there, she hydrated and played with her grandchildren.

“She did not lose consciousness, she stumbled getting into the van, from the van she was calling aides and we got her to a doctor as quickly as we could,” Mook said.

Several hours later, the campaign released a statement saying Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.

The campaign has acknowledged it could have been more transparent, and says it will release more information about Clinton’s health later this week.

Clinton’s next scheduled public appearance is a rally on Wednesday in Nevada, although Mook would not say if he believed Clinton would be back on her feet by then.

He said she is resting and was back to work on Monday morning making phone calls and emailing people.
