Hillary Clinton struck a defensive tone Wednesday night when called out by CNN's Anderson Cooper for going more than eight months since holding a press conference.
Cooper concluded his phone interview with Clinton by pointing out it had been more than 260 days since she'd had one, saying it seemed like a "run-out-the-clock" strategy to beat Donald Trump.
"Will you give a press conference?" Cooper asked.
"Well, Anderson, I'm talking to you right now, and I've given, I think, way in excess of 300 interviews this year, so I'm going to continue talking with the press and answering questions in many different venues," she said.
Cooper asked again why not just hold a press conference with many different reporters.
"I've got a lot that I have been sharing with the press, talking to the press, as I'm doing with you right now, so stay tuned," she said. "There will be a lot of different opportunities for me to talk to the press, as well as continuing to talk to the American public."
Cooper threw in a dig as he ended the interview, thanking her for phoning in and saying there are "a lot of other reporters who would love the chance to address you during a press conference."
