Washington (CNN) Hillary Clinton on Monday dismissed an upcoming book that will reportedly outline favorable treatment from her State Department in exchange for foreign donations to her family foundation, saying it comes with the territory of running for president.

"We are back into the political season and there are all kinds of distractions and attacks," Clinton told reporters in New Hampshire on Monday, her first comments to the media. "And I am ready for that. I know that that comes, unfortunately, with the territory. It is, I think, worth nothing that the Republicans seem to be talking only about me. I don't know what they would be talk about if I wasn't in the race. But I am in the race and hopefully we will get onto the issues and I look forward to that."

"Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich," by Peter Schweizer, comes out May 5. But some of her potential Republican presidential opponents have already been briefed on its contents, and Sen. Rand Paul has said the book will make Americans "question" Clinton's candidacy.

Earlier in the day, Clinton's spokesman also dismissed the New York Times report as focusing "on attacks rather than ideas."

"It appears that this book is being used to aid this coordinated attack strategy, twisting previously known facts into absurd conspiracy theories," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon. "It will not be the first work of partisan-fueled fiction about the Clintons' record, and we know it will not be the last."
