Donald Trump's health disclosures so far have been "a joke," as he has not yet released "a single, serious health record," Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook said Wednesday, while defending his candidate for delaying the release of her pneumonia diagnosis.
"She originally didn't want this to disrupt the campaign," Mook told CNBC's "Squawk Box" show, adding that she tried to "power through it."
However, he added, "when she became overheated on Sunday, it was clear she needed to take some down time. Clinton left a 9/11 memorial ceremony suddenly on Sunday, and was filmed stumbling and almost falling as she was helped into a waiting van.
After the incident, her campaign revealed she'd been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.
Trump, meanwhile, recorded an interview on Wednesday with the Dr. Oz program.
Earlier this week, the GOP nominee had said he'd release a more comprehensive report to the program, which will air on Thursday. However, a campaign spokeswoman said Wednesday morning that Trump would not be releasing a full, detailed report.
Clinton will return to the campaign trail on Thursday with appearances including a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, said Mook, who declined to say if her pneumonia was viral or bacterial.
She has been resting at home in Chappaqua, New York since Sunday, and on Monday told CNN she didn't think her pneumonia diagnosis was "going to be that big a deal."
