Members of the presidential campaign of the US Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton were worried about media reports on Clinton’s meetings for a Priorities USA super PAC, which they did not want to confirm, the Sunday batch of campaign emails released by Wikileaks showed.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Priorities USA Action, one of the largest political action committees for the Democratic Party, helped organize the financing for Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.
“FYI – the New York Times will soon report that HRC is doing meetings for Priorities USA. We have NOT confirmed the meeting and will not be confirming these types of meetings,” Jesse Ferguson, a senior spokesman for the campaign, wrote to a number of Clinton strategists on May 6, 2015.
Jennifer Palmieri, the communications director of the Clinton campaign, forwarded Ferguson’s message to the campaign chair John Podesta adding that the New York Times might have been tipped off about the meeting by the PAC staff and the campaign would not confirm the meetings.
“So afraid that NYT is going with this story on Priorities whether we like or not. They have sources about the meetings. Honestly, it sounds like Priorities staff was yapping. We are not confirming meetings on this trip but commenting on why we are participating with Priorities,” Palmieri wrote.
