Hillary Clinton will release transcripts to her paid speeches — just as long as everyone else does too.

“I am happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same,” Clinton said during Thursday's Democratic town hall in Nevada, before adding that all other candidates had made paid speeches — including her Democratic rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.


According to The New York Times, Sanders made just under $2,000 for three speeches in 2014, a fraction of what Clinton has made.

The former secretary of state made $675,000 for three speeches for Goldman Sachs. When asked during a previous televised town hall event why she accepted so much money, she responded, "Well, that’s what they offered.”

Clinton's aides and allies have sought to downplay the need to release her speech transcripts.

Her pollster, Joel Benenson, said at a Wall Street Journal breakfast on Feb. 5, "I don't think voters are interested in the transcripts of her speeches."

And on Thursday, David Brock, the co-founder of the pro-Clinton group Correct the Record, said on "Morning Joe": “I think there’s nothing to hide, but I think that could be a slippery slope and we could end up asking for all sorts of things."
