When he appeared on “The View” Thursday, Clinton’s campaign manager was asked if Donna Brazile leaked prepared questions to the Democratic nominee.
“CNN just parted ways with Donna Brazile — reportedly for giving the Clinton campaign questions ahead of her debate with Bernie Sanders,” Jedediah Bila said to Mook. “You’re the campaign manager. You know the workings of this campaign. You’re aware of everything. Can you unequivocally tell us that Hillary Clinton did not see those questions in advance?”

“I haven’t seen the emails in question,” Mook replied.
“I’ll be honest with you: these emails were stolen by the Russians, given to WikiLeaks and they’re dumping them out every day — thousands of them. I haven’t been taking my time up every day to look at them. What I do know is that Bernie Sanders’s senior adviser said he was in constant communication with Donna Brazile as well, and that he wouldn’t like those emails to be out there.”
“Is that an ‘I don’t know’?” Bila shot back.
“I am not aware of any questions getting fed in,” Mook said.
“Here’s the other thing I’ll say: Hillary Clinton is tough. She can take on Bernie Sanders, she can take on Donald Trump. She doesn’t need to be fed anything.” (RELATED: CNN Severs Ties With Donna Brazile After Learning Debate Questions Were Provided to Clinton)
