Three of Hillary Clinton's paid speeches to Goldman Sachs were released Saturday by WikiLeaks, casting an awkward spotlight on the Democrat's ties to the biggest players on Wall Street in the final stretch of the White House race. Clinton's campaign did not contest the authenticity of the remarks, which were part of a huge trove of documents hacked from the emails of campaign chairman John Podesta by WikiLeaks.
New York Times : "Mrs. Clinton's campaign declined to release transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street firms during the Democratic primary contests, when her rival, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, intensely criticized her for accepting roughly $225,000 per speech." "But on Saturday, transcripts of three appearances at Goldman Sachs events were released by WikiLeaks, part of a trove of thousands of emails obtained by hackers who illegally breached the email account of one of Mrs. Clinton's top aides."
Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders stopped in Los Angeles Friday to call on his supporters to get behind a California ballot initiative that proposes a way to decrease prescription drug costs in the Golden State. Hundreds of nurses, members of AARP and his supporters gathered at a rally outside the American Federation of Musicians Hall in Hollywood for what they hoped to hear and missed from the U.S. Senator from Vermont: a charged, heated speech on why supporting Proposition 61 was the beginning of a revolution against big drug companies.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and four other Democratic senators are asking President Barack Obama to halt construction of the four-state Dakota Access pipeline until a full environmental review can be completed. In a statement, the senators said today the request is due to a federal appeals court denying the Standing Rock Sioux's motion for a temporary work stoppage in southern North Dakota within 20 miles of Lake Oahe.
The website RT posted details about some of the 1,812 emails, which revealed more inner workings of Clinton's presidential campaign, such as her emotional connection to voters, the Clintons not forgetting "what their friends have done for them," Clinton apologizing for using a private email server, and more. The leak includes Steve Hildebrand, former deputy national campaign director for President Barack Obama, saying that Clinton needs to find an "emotional connection" to voters.
Just over a month from Election Day, Hillary Clinton is treating a trio of perennial swing states - Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin - more like safe states. The Democratic nominee isn't running television advertisements in any of the three states and has barely campaigned in them - her trip to Pueblo, Colorado, on Wednesday was her first in that state since August.
Supporters of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Saturday expressed anger and vindication over leaked comments made by Hillary Clinton to banks and big business that appeared to confirm their fears about her support for global trade and tendency to cozy up to Wall Street. Clinton, who needs Sanders' coalition of young and left-leaning voters to propel her to the presidency, pushes for open trade and open borders in one of the speeches, and takes a conciliatory approach to Wall Street, both positions she later backed away from in an effort to capture the popular appeal of Sanders' attacks on trade deals and powerful banks.
The remarks by Hillary Clinton during the paid speeches show a politician at ease with the lexicon and mandate of international finance and a realpolitik approach to world events. For progressive Democrats, the release of hacked emails suggesting a tight relationship between Hillary Clinton and Wall Street and her dream of "open trade and open borders" was an uncomfortable reminder of where she stood when her presidential campaign began.
Hillary Clinton told bankers behind closed doors that she favored "open trade and open borders" and said Wall Street executives were best-positioned to help reform the U.S. financial sector, according to transcripts of her private, paid speeches leaked Friday. Excerpts of the speeches given in the years before her 2016 presidential campaign included some blunt and unguarded remarks to her private audiences, which collectively had paid her at least $26.1 million in speaking fees.
Evan Bayh spent substantial time during his last year in the Senate searching for a job in the private sector, even as he cast votes on issues of interest to his future corporate bosses, according to the former Indiana lawmaker's 2010 schedule, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press. The Democrat held more than four dozen meetings and phone calls with head hunters and future corporate employers over the months, beginning just days after announcing his surprise retirement from the Senate on Feb. 15, 2010, through December of that year as his term came to an end.
