Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton said in an interview aired Wednesday night that special interest groups cannot buy her to gain access and influence as she continues to face scrutiny for taking large sums of money in speaking fees from the financial industry in recent years.

Speaking over the phone with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Clinton was asked how she will respond to impending attack ads from her main primary challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I, Vt.), who is expected to target her ties to Wall Street.

“As anybody who knows me knows, you can’t buy me,” Clinton said in response, defending her commitment to regulate financial firms and weaken Wall Street’s influence.

“I’ve been standing up and fighting and getting knocked around for years trying to get things done that I think would improve peoples’ lives, and I’m not going to stop,” Clinton added. “And that includes anybody trying to, you know, mess with our financial system.”

The Democratic frontrunner has come under fire in recent weeks for having connections to Wall Street and receiving significant amounts of money from the financial industry during a primary that has largely focused on targeting Wall Street firms to address income inequality.

A New York Times report from last week detailed how Bill and Hillary Clinton have taken in more than $125,000,000 in speaking fees since they left the White House, much of which came from Wall Street-linked financial firms.

Just under a quarter of the money has come in the last two years.

Nicholas Confessore, one of the authors of the article, told MSNBC last week that the amount of money the former first couple has amassed from speaking engagements is “almost obscene.”

Clinton made on average about $250,000 per speech, including $675,000 from Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs for three speeches.

$675,000 for 3 speeches.......

I'm all for free market, but something tells me that 3 speeches alone couldn't be worth that kind of money. With some other services factored, in, sure....
