DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will release a tough new television ad critical of Goldman Sachs' role in the financial meltdown and use of speaking fees as he ramps up criticism of Hillary Clinton's ties to Wall Street.
The 30-second ad, circulated Thursday ahead of its scheduled Friday release, makes no mention of Clinton, who received more than $600,000 in speaking fees from the Wall Street firm. But it comes amid a push by Sanders to make policing the financial sector central to his presidential campaign. Its release falls within days of Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses.
"How does Wall Street get away from it? Millions in campaign contributions and speaking fees," the ad says, describing Goldman Sachs' recent $5 billion settlement from its role in the financial crisis. "Our economy works for Wall Street because it's rigged by Wall Street and that's the problem."
"As long as Washington is bought and paid for we can't build an economy that works for people," the narrator says.

I know he is committed to running a positive only campaign. But telling truths is not negative, is it? HRCs picture should have been on that segment, and it should have been explained why, in order to connect the dots for the people who don't know about her speaking fees
