Would the Hillary Clinton campaign have disclosed her pneumonia if they hadn’t been forced into it?

That was the question CNN’s Jake Tapper posed to Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook today over the lack of transparency over her health:

“Your campaign did not disclose what happened on Friday, thus on Sunday when Hillary clinton and your staff left that event, didn’t tell the campaign reporters traveling with Secretary Clinton that she had left––she was seen seeming to collapse in front of cameras. I think people wonder how much are you willing to disclose unless you’re forced to.”

Mook insisted that Clinton was just trying to “power through” her illness and she didn’t want it to get in the way of campaigning, but then realized that some rest was needed.

Mook also had to tell Tapper that Clinton did not “lose consciousness” in the van yesterday.
