Hillary Clinton Reveals Why She Gave Goldman Sachs Speeches: ‘They Paid Me’

by Adam Shaw31 May 20170

Hillary Clinton revealed Wednesday why she gave speeches to Goldman Sachs when she served as Secretary of State, telling a California audience,”They paid me.”

Clinton was discussing the role of tech in the 2016 election at Recode’s Code Conference and was asked by journalist Walt Mossberg, “Why did you do those?”

Clinton responded by asking him, “Why do you have Goldman Sachs here?”

When fellow journalist Kara Swisher noted that Goldman Sachs pay them, Clinton responded, “They paid me.”

Clinton received as much as $225,000 for speeches to the Wall Street firm, and she came under heavy criticism in the Democratic primary, as opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) attacked her decision and questioned whether she’d be able to get tough on banks as a result. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/05/31/hillary-clinton-...
