Hillary Clinton’s health was brought up Tuesday not at a political event but at the State Department daily press briefing.

The State Department press corp asked spokesman Mark Toner, who worked at the State Department while Clinton was secretary of state, about the Democratic presidential nominee’s recent coughing fit at a rally in Cleveland on Monday.

"And then you worked with her while she was here, since almost every network had a story about her coughing fit, would you have any reason to worry or wonder about her health?" a reporter asked Toner.

Toner first laughed at the question before answering.

"I can only speak for my personal experience with her, and she seemed a very vital and dynamic and healthy person," Toner said.
