Over two years ago, we reinstated the @StateDept Daily Press Briefing. In my first briefing, I said that not only do we need an engaged, active press corps to hold us accountable — we welcome it. It was true then, and it’s true today, my last day as Spokesperson.

As I discussed with @mitchellreports @MSNBC: These types of encounters and reckless maneuvers have the potential to lead to something much more dangerous. They have the potential to be escalatory. And our message to the Russians is that this cannot continue.
