Hillary Clinton defended herself Monday over her campaign's delay in
announcing her pneumonia diagnosis, saying she's "already met a high
standard of transparency" while looking forward to returning to the
campaign trail.
The Democratic presidential nominee told CNN in a phone interview she did
feel dizzy and lost her balance while attending a 9/11 commemoration ceremony
in New York, but now is "feeling so much better."
"I was supposed to rest five days, that's what they told me on
Friday, and I didn't follow that very wise advice," Clinton said.
She told CNN her campaign didn't make her diagnosis on Friday public
because "I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal"
"I thought that I could just keep going forward and power through
it, and obviously that didn't work out so well," she said.
When asked about her husband's comments in an interview with Charlie Rose
to be aired on CBS and PBS that she occasionally has become dehydrated and gone
through similar medical episodes in the past, Clinton said it is
"something that has occurred a few times over the course of my life."
