Nick Merrill, Hillary Clinton’s traveling press secretary, bragged to other Clinton staffers about trying to shame a reporter into spiking a negative Clinton story in emails obtained by the Internet transparency group, DC Leaks.

On May 23, 2016, Merrill wrote to Shelly Moskwa, Lyn Utrecht, Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, Eric Kleinfeld and Capricia Marshall that a story by Emily Kopp would soon run in The Intercept, despite [his] efforts to shame Ms. Koop [sic] for her lousy reporting.”

The article in question detailed how Clinton used the Hillary Victory Fund as a personal “slush fund,” yet Merrill repeatedly refuted the authenticity of Kopp’s reporting in a question and answer series he shared on the email chain.

“You’ll see I’m a little informal with her and challenge her premise throughout,” he explained.
