Hillary Clinton was not happy with a profile written about her by the New York Times,
even though her team got to approve what quotes made it into the piece.
The latest batch of hacked emails released by WikiLeaks revealed that Clinton confided in aides that she was “upset” by a “continued bad relationship” with what the campaign described as “
our press.”
An earlier batch of hacked emails revealed that
the New York Times gave veto power to the campaign for what Hillary Clinton quotes could be used in the profile.
Leibovich said he had
an off-the-record arrangement with the campaign, and
negotiated on what quotes he could use. However, Leibovich changed quotes mid-sentence
to accommodate Clinton’s team.
“Pleasure doing business!” Palmieri said to Leibovich.
