Durbin Defends Clinton Regarding Ties To Wall Street

Durbin.senate.gov

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is defending Hillary Clinton against criticisms that she’s too cozy with Wall Street.

The Democratic presidential nominee's stance on big business came into question in the wake of the release of hacked emails.   

“It is true that Hillary Clinton made speeches -- if these WikiLeaks are accurate, I don’t know that they are — uh, that raise questions about what she felt at the time,"  Durbin said.  "What she said during this campaign on the record makes it clear that she’s not going to treat Wall Street with kid gloves.”

Durbin says no campaign would look good under the kind of scrutiny Clinton has faced.
