Mook: I'm not aware of debate questions being fed to Clinton

Hillary Clinton's campaign manager on Thursday denied any knowledge of the former secretary of state being given debate or town hall questions in advance, saying Clinton doesn't need a leg up on her rivals.

“I’m not aware of any questions getting fed in,” Robby Mook said on The View on Thursday.


The emails hacked from John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, show that now-interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile appeared to have given Clinton's camp a heads up on questions from a CNN town hall and a CNN primary debate with Bernie Sanders. Clinton's campaign has declined to verify the authenticity of the emails, however CNN, has severed ties with Brazile, who had served as a CNN contributor.

Mook cautioned that while he does not spend the final days before the election browsing through the constant drip of emails posted by WikiLeaks, Clinton would not need such an advantage.

“Look, Hillary Clinton is tough,” he said. “She can take on Bernie Sanders. She can take on Donald Trump. She doesn't need to be fed anything."
