That left Clinton's press pool scrambling to follow her around Manhattan and up to Chappaqua, always a step behind. Gearan said the pool did not believe that Trump's lack of a protective pool "should have bearing on Clinton."

Clinton campaign spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the absence of a protective pool.
