Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Thursday he wasn’t aware of debate questions being leaked to the candidate during the Democratic presidential primaries.

Mook was asked about Donna Brazile, who resigned as a CNN contributor after hacked emails appeared to show her sending debate questions to Clinton’s campaign in advance.

{mosads}”I am not aware of any questions getting fed in,” Mook said Thursday on ABC’s “The View” when asked if Clinton saw the questions in advance.

“Look: Here’s the other thing that I’ll say. Hillary Clinton is tough. She can take on Bernie Sanders. She can take on Donald Trump. She doesn’t need to be fed anything,” he added.

stolen email published Monday by WikiLeaks appears to show Brazile, now the interim head of the Democratic National Committee, telling Clinton aides what questions to expect at the March 6 debate.

In the email dated March 5, 2016, Brazile wrote “one of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash” in the subject line of a message to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and communications director Jennifer Palmieri.

“Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint,” Brazile added in the hacked email.

Another email leaked last month appeared to show Brazile sending a town hall question to the Clinton campaign.

“From time to time I get the questions in advance,” she wrote in an email to Palmieri dated March 12.

A CNN spokesperson said Monday the network was “completely uncomfortable” with Brazile’s relationship with the Clinton campaign and announced she had resigned last month.
