“See you on the trail soon”.

In a move aimed at quieting questions about transparency, Clinton said she would be releasing more medical information this week. On Monday, Clinton told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that she didn’t faint but “felt dizzy” and did lose her balance “for a minute”. But Clinton’s unpopularity rivals that of her opponent, and she’s been unable to do much to change the minds of Americans who believe she is dishonest and secretive. She was diagnosed with the lung infection on Friday.

Clinton said: “I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal”.

Clinton on Sunday morning abruptly left a 9/11 memorial in NY and her campaign initially told reporters that Clinton had been “overheated”.

CBS News Correspondent Nancy Cordes asked, “Was there a discussion among your communications team on Friday about whether or not to announce that Secretary Clinton had pneumonia?”

A video posted to Twitter by user @zgazda66 appeared to show Clinton stagger and struggle to get into a black van as her staff and security assisted her. Clinton attended the ceremony for an hour and a half before leaving to head to her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s Manhattan apartment, according to her spokesman.

A federal investigation of that issue said she was “extremely careless” in her handling of classified emails but did not recommend criminal charges.

“If you look at the way the last couple months have gone, it feels like the race should be further apart”, said Greg Haas, an Ohio-based Democratic strategist and former county party chairman. “It’s a attractive day in NY”.

70-year-old Tom Blair is a longtime Clinton supporter.

“I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”, the statement said.

Hillary Clinton waves to press on September 11, 2016.

He said that “on more than one occasion” over the years “the same sort of thing’s happened to her when she got severely dehydrated”.

Speaking in Maryland on Monday, Trump said he was shocked to hear Clinton “attack, slander, smear and demean these wonderful, awesome people who are supporting our campaign”. “T think it is concerning and I think the voters need and deserve to find out”. She was wearing a wool suit and had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, a fact her campaign had not made public.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign acknowledged on Monday it mishandled public concerns about Clinton’s medical condition and said additional medical details of Clinton would soon be released.

Aides are promising to release more of her medical records after her bout of pneumonia and conceding they were too slow in providing information about her condition. Trump wished Clinton well and said he would release another round of his own health test results this week.

In December 2012, she suffered a concussion and shortly afterward developed a blood clot.
