A member of Hillary Clinton’s team said it was “counterproductive” when a top Clinton surrogate demanded that Bernie Sanders offer up his medical records during the Democratic presidential primary, hacked emails published by WikiLeaks revealed on Monday.
“Hard to think of anything more counterproductive than demanding Bernie’s medical records,” Clinton confidante and Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden wrote in a Jan. 16 email to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

The email came the same day that David Brock, the head of pro-Clinton political action committee Correct the Record, made news for demanding that the 74-year-old senator release his medical history.
Tanden took a parting shot at Brock, a former Republican who sparred with President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, in her message to Podesta. “Maybe he actually is a republican plant,” she speculated.
The exchange was included in one of 2,086 messages obtained from Podesta’s personal Gmail account and published by WikiLeaks. The release came after an initial Friday dump of 2,050 emails from his account.
