After months of requests for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to release the text of speeches she has given to big banks in recent years, a new batch of Clinton-related emails made public by WikiLeaks Friday includes remarks from a paid speech she gave to a San Diego law firm.

The email dump includes one email from a presidential campaign researcher who called parts of the San Diego speech and others to the campaign’s attention in January as Clinton was being criticized by Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders for being too close to Wall Street and too out of touch with Main Street.

The email grouped statements Clinton had made in a series of private speeches under headlines that read, “Clinton admits she is out of touch,” and “Clinton says you need to have a private and public position on policy.”

In the San Diego speech, Clinton said she worked with “many talented principled people who made their living in finance” when she was a New York senator. “Even though I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper,” she said, “I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay.” She added she saw “how a well-functioning financial system is essential” every day “from Wall Street literally to Main Streets across New York.”

The emails released Friday were ones that had been sent to and from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta . One email includes transcripts from the controversial speeches she gave to companies like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. The speeches made Clinton millions of dollars and were repeatedly brought up by Sanders in an effort to make her look too cozy with Wall Street bankers.

Friday’s email dump features excerpts from a speech she gave to the San Diego firm, Robbins, Gellar, Rudman & Dowd. That’s the same firm that filed a nationwide consumer class action lawsuit against Trump University in 2010.

“There is a lot of policy positions that we should give an extra scrub with Policy,” a Clinton campaign researcher said when sharing the San Diego speech and others with the campaign team.

Here’s what the Wikileaks email showed was said in the San Diego speech:

“When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in ‘06, ‘07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over complex financial products, I didn’t get some big arguments, because people sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it ever since.” [Hillary Clinton’s Remarks at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd in San Diego, 9/04/14]

The researcher who flagged the speech to Clinton’s campaign chairman marked these lines as being of particular concern:

Clinton: As Senator, “I Represented And Worked With” So Many On Wall Street And “Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper” But Still Called For Closing Carried Interest Loophole.

According to financial records compiled in a database by the Washington Post, a speech Clinton gave to Robbins, Gellar, Rudman & Dowd here in San Diego earned her $225,000.
