Isabel Oakeshott defended releasing WhatsApps she obtained when working on Mr Hancock's book, arguing it was in the "overwhelming national interest".
However, Mr Hancock said the messages were released in a "biased account to suit an anti-lockdown agenda".
He also denied her claim he had sent her a "menacing" message over the leak.
The Telegraph has been handed more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages linked to Mr Hancock's time as health secretary at the height of the pandemic. It began publishing the texts earlier this week.
