TV Newsers Feature in Latest Clinton Email Release

By Mark Joyella 

The latest batch of emails related to Hillary Clinton‘s tenure as Secretary of State–in this case, emails of Clinton aide Philippe Reines–include a number of messages to and from people in television news, including NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, CBS’ Margaret Brennan, and CNN’s Pamela Brown.

As reported by Gawker, the emails range from boring to revealing. Brown, who was in 2012 a local news reporter in Washington, pitched an interview with Clinton–and played on her ties as a former Clinton intern: “It would mean the world to me personally and professionally if I could do a sit-down interview with Sec. Clinton.”

An email from CBS’ Brennan includes a knock on her own CBSNews.com digital team: “this isn’t the first time that [CBSNews].com has caused some real problems for me by publishing things without checking with me first.”
