WH Refutes Clinton’s Claim that Trade Details Were Made Public Last Week

The White House is hitting back at Hillary Clinton a week after the Democratic presidential candidate claimed to have looked at the Trans-Pacific Parternship. The trade deal, the White House says, has not been released to the public. Clinton, for her part, claimed last week to have looked at the details and decided that she couldn’t support the deal.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest addressed it at today’s press briefing:

“I’m not quite sure what she was referring to,” said Earnest. 

“The official, final of the Trans-Pacific Parternship has not been released. But when it does, we will make sure that everybody has the opportunity to see it. And we have made clear that the American public will have the opportunity to review that document for 60 days before the president actually signs it.”
