He then asked if Obama agrees with Clinton's challenger, Bernie Sanders, that she should release the transcripts if she has nothing to hide.

"I'm wondering if you think that undermines her trustworthiness with the American people and if you agree with Bernie Sanders that she should release the transcripts of her highly paid speeches to Wall Street?" he continued.

As of the time of the questioning, it had been 111 days since the former Secretary of State promised to "look into" releasing her speeches.

"OK, you know what? I take it back. I'm not taking another one," Obama responded.

"We're in Japan, don't we have something in Asia that we want to talk about? I'll be talking about this in Washington the whole time," he continued, before asserting that the press should ask the candidate's campaigns.
