Hillary Clinton said Monday night that she and her campaign didn't disclose her pneumonia diagnosis on Friday because she didn't believe it was "that big a deal", saying she's feeling "much better" and will be releasing more medical information in the coming days.
"What happened this time, though, was it didn't dissipate, and that's why when I got off the road on Friday, I did go to see my doctor, and that's when I was diagnosed with pneumonia.I just didn't think it was going to be that big of deal.I think it's fair to say that people know more about me than nearly anyone in public life.It's really past time for [Trump] to be held to the same standards, not just as me, but as anybody else who has sought this job".
In a phone interview Monday with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Hillary Clinton said she is feeling better after fainting from pneumonia at Sunday's 9/11 anniversary ceremony in NY. And I could feel how hot and humid it was, I felt overheated. In a statement released by the campaign eight hours after the incident, Bardack said the 68-year-old Clinton "became overheated and dehydrated" at the 9/11 ceremony.
As family members of 9/11 victims read the names of the almost 3,000 people killed in the attacks, she chose to leave and get a drink of water.
An outbreak of respiratory illness swept through Hillary Clinton's campaign in the weeks before she was diagnosed with pneumonia, campaign aides said Monday.
Hillary Clinton called into CNN tonight and faced a grilling from Anderson Cooper over her lack of transparency over her health status and pneumonia diagnosis. "That's what they told me on Friday, and I didn't follow that very wise advice".

"It's just the kind of thing that if it happens to you and you're a busy, active person, you keep moving forward", Clinton said on CNN. She added that she'll be back on the campaign trail "in the next couple of days".
"Obviously I was supposed to rest five days", Clinton said Monday night. Clinton exited the building on her own, wearing sunglasses and carrying a handbag.
"I think that in retrospect, we could have handled it better in terms of providing more information more quickly", Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told MSNBC.
She waved to reporters and said: "I'm feeling great". Donald Trump's doctor said he'd be the healthiest president in history.
"That's just not even serious", Clinton said of Trump's medical letter.
"I'll be releasing very, very specific numbers", he said on Fox and Friends. The former president will fill in for his wife Tuesday afternoon at the Beverly Hills home of Seth MacFarlane, and later at a dinner at the Beverly Hills home of Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, according to the Washington Post. "See you on the [campaign] trail soon", Clinton tweeted.
