In an email sent on Oct. 22, 2015, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta asked his colleague Sara Latham if she could figure out whether David is supporting Clinton or Sanders, after David played Sanders in skits on "Saturday Night Live."

In response, Latham said deputy communications director Kristina Schake would ask Rob Reiner, a Clinton supporter.

"Before we ask someone like Kives who has a big mouth," Latham said in the email.

Schake said in response Reiner had spoken with David. She said David doesn't plan to endorse any candidate because he planned to continue playing the Vermont senator on "Saturday Night Live."

"Bernie's campaign contacted him right after the skit to ask him to endorse and he declined," she said in the email.
