| Bill and Hillary Clinton have made more than $153m from paid speeches over the last 15 years, a CNN study has found, including at least $7.7m from 39 speeches to Wall Street firms including Goldman Sachs, UBS and Bank of America. | |
| The study found that between 2001 and the formal announcement of Hillary Clinton’s campaign last May, the couple gave 729 speeches at an average of $210,795 each. Hillary Clinton, who is facing campaign-trail scrutiny over her ties to Wall Street, earned more than $1.8m for at least eight speeches to large financial institutions, the study found. | |
| Claims by Bernie Sanders that Clinton is an establishment politician who “throughout one’s life raised a whole lot of money from the drug companies and other special interests” provoked a sharp response during this week’s debate, when Clinton accused the Vermont senator of attacking her “by innuendo, by insinuation”. | |
| “You will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation I ever received,” Clinton said. | |
| Her campaign has said it is considering releasing the text of speeches she gave to Wall Street firms. | |

| According to CNN, Bill Clinton made the majority of the speeches, 637, earning $132m; his wife earned more than $21m from 92 speeches. | |
| In 2013, the study found, Hillary Clinton made $775,000 from three speeches to Goldman Sachs and $225,000 each from UBS, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank. | |
| The analysis show a steady increase in the couple’s billing. In 2004, Bill Clinton was charging $125,000 per engagement. In 2014, for a speech to Bank of America/Merrill Lynch in London, his fee was $500,000. | |
| Hillary Clinton hit the big bank speaking circuit in 2013, after leaving the State Department. She spoke then at $225,000 per engagement. In 2014, her fee was $260,000 – a 15% rise. | |

| Chelsea Clinton, the former and possibly future first daughter of the United States, is the product of two high-powered politicians whose address was once 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. She has worked for NBC, her family’s foundation, and had media training for years. But all the preparation in the world can’t always prevent slip. | Chelsea Clinton, the former and possibly future first daughter of the United States, is the product of two high-powered politicians whose address was once 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. She has worked for NBC, her family’s foundation, and had media training for years.

| Clinton has raised eyebrows as of late for her sharp attacks against the only man standing between her mother and the Democratic nomination: Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. But on the campaign trail in Minnesota this week, however, a slip of the tongue accidentally paid him a compliment. | Clinton has raised eyebrows as of late for her sharp attacks against the only man standing between her mother and the Democratic nomination: Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.

| Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the electoral battle for New Hampshire, 2016 edition, three days out from the first-in-the-nation primary. With Iowa settled (more or less) in a victory for Republican Ted Cruz and a de facto tie for Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, New Hampshire has become a high-stakes fight for every candidate in the field. | Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the electoral battle for New Hampshire, 2016 edition, three days out from the first-in-the-nation primary.

| For some, the Granite State is their last and only hope. Republicans Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie have poured nearly all their time and money into New Hampshire in the hopes that its voters, more moderate than the evangelical base of Iowa, will turn the party away from the religious fervor of Cruz and “everything is terrible” rhetoric of Donald Trump. | For some, the Granite State is their last and only hope.

| But polls put Trump on top by a healthy margin of more than 15 points, and Marco Rubio is nudging himself into position as the best-placed alternative to both the unpredictable billionaire and the much-loathed senator from Texas. | But polls put Trump on top by a healthy margin of more than 15 points, and Marco Rubio is nudging himself into position as the best-placed alternative to both the unpredictable billionaire and the much-loathed senator from Texas. |

| Democrats also face what could be the first truly decisive vote in the 2016 election. Clinton beat Sanders in Iowa by a tiny margin, and caucus night was a chaotic, poorly managed affair. The race turned emotional and sharp on Thursday, in the first debate that pit the two candidates against each other. | Democrats also face what could be the first truly decisive vote in the 2016 election.

| Despite her enormous campaign resources, her many allies and her healthy national lead in the polls, Clinton is something of an underdog in New Hampshire. Sanders has a 21-point lead there, according to averages, and is slowly approaching her poll numbers nationally. Democrats have found themselves divided along similar lines as Republicans (age, wealth, race and more), and while Clinton has racked up endorsements Sanders continues to surprise her, winning over a former head of the NAACP and turning out large numbers of young voters. | Despite her enormous campaign resources, her many allies and her healthy national lead in the polls, Clinton is something of an underdog in New Hampshire.
