Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is running a new television ad starting Friday singling out Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for its role in the 2008 financial crisis, as well as indirectly criticizing speaking fees accepted by Hillary Clinton.
While the ad doesn't mention Clinton by name, the Vermont senator has criticized her for the $675,000 she was paid for three speeches she gave to the firm in 2013. It's the latest effort by Sanders to tap voter anger about what he calls a “rigged economy,” with polls showing Sanders and Clinton in a close race in Monday's Iowa caucuses.
