At the end of addressing reporters in Florida today, Donald Trump called on Hillary Clinton to hold her own press conference.
“I think it’s time for Hillary Clinton to do a news conference because it’s almost a year now and it would interesting to see how she does,” Trump said on Wednesday in Doral, Florida.
But when asked about such a press conference, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager revealed Monday he apparently isn’t responsible for anything.
When asked when his candidate would be holding a press conference, Robby Mook dodged, and answered, “I just work here.”
After a reporter noted it has been more than 200 days since Clinton last held a formal press conference, Mook answered about how much he was looking forward to Bernie Sanders’s speech to the DNC tonight.
Undeterred, the reporter succinctly followed up, “Secretary Clinton — press conference?”
Laughing, Mook replied, “I’ll leave that to Brian to answer,” referring to press secretary Brian Fallon.
“I just work here,” he added.
Leaning in front of the microphone, Fallon said, “I think you will continue to see Secretary Clinton answer questions in a variety of formats including probably press conferences before the whole thing is over, so, but she continues to take questions on the road, do interviews and so, she’s been answering questions on any number of topics including emails and everything else for a long time now.”
