Via The Hill:
Pressure is building on Hillary Clinton to hold a press conference as she seeks to wrap up the Democratic presidential nomination.
It’s been 180 days since Clinton’s last open press conference, a fact not lost on the members of the media who cover her, or on Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.
CNN’s Jake Tapper broached the topic with the former secretary of State in an interview on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after Trump held a contentious 40-minute press conference where he berated the media for questioning his donations to veterans.
“It’s been something like five or six months since you’ve held an actual press conference, is that something you will remedy soon?” Tapper asked.“I’m sure we will. I was shocked myself that I’ve done nearly 300 interviews [in 2016],” Clinton replied.
“I believe that we do and we should answer questions. Of course I’m going to, in many, many different types of settings.”
Clinton’s interview count likely includes the local interviews she has given ahead of primaries and caucuses, as well as nationally televised town halls and interviews on talk shows such as NBC’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
