JUST IN: Clinton does phone interview with Anderson Cooper

(CNN)Hillary Clinton defended herself Monday against charges her campaign lacked transparency about her health, saying she's "already met a high standard of transparency" in disclosing her health records.
"I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal," she said of her pneumonia diagnosis.

Clinton said felt dizzy and lost her balance Sunday, but did not lose consciousness, and is now "feeling so much better."
"I was supposed to rest five days -- that's what they told me on Friday -- and I didn't follow that very wise advice," Clinton told CNN's Anderson Cooper in a phone interview.

She also admits she has passed out a few times in her life. Says she ignored her doctor's advice Friday to take it easy but now she is following the advice. It was important to her to be at memorial because as an NY senator on 9/11, it was very personal for her.

They are going to pounce on the "passed out a few times".

But it's not the end of the world. It shows transparency, and a lot of people, including my mom, have the propensity for fainting and it's usually not serious.
