Republican operative Karl Rove is behind an attack ad aimed at turning Iowa caucus-goers against her, Democrat Hillary Clinton said Sunday on "Meet the Press."
Clinton was asked by moderator Chuck Todd whether big banks paying her more than $200,000 per speech hurt her credibility.
Clinton responded that she gave speeches to a "wide array of groups," after ending her stint at President Barack Obama's secretary of state.
"People were interested in what I saw, what I thought," she said. "Americans doing business in every aspect of the economy want to know more about the world."
"You don’t think they expect anything in return?" Todd asked.
"Absolutely not," Clinton insisted, pointing out that she took on Wall Street during her time as senator from New York.
"And its really interesting to me that now Karl Rove is taking money from the financial interests who run an ad against me to try and influence Democrats not to support me," she said. "Why? Ask yourself why? Because he knows,
1. I know what needs to be done, and
2. I know how to get it done to make sure Wall Street writ large, not just the big banks but the investment banks, hedge funds, and everybody else, can no longer wreck our economy the way they did in 2008."
The ad to which Clinton referred was made by Rove's super PAC, American Crossroads. It accuses Clinton of being able to pay for her massive TV ad buys with money from Wall Street interests.
A graphic in the ad shows Clinton receiving $6.4 million from Wall Street speaking fees and only $118,000 from Iowans contributing to her campaign.
"Hillary rewarded Wall Street with the $700 billion bailout," the ad's announcer says. "Does Iowa really want Wall Street in the White House?"

Oh Boy, yet ANOTHER “Right Winged Conspiracy” claimed by the Clinton’s. That “dodge” has outlived its usefulness. Lets face it, we don’t need another conspiracy to know that the Clintons are guilty of everything being thrown at them.
Like many others are asking, “Why are both Clinton’s walking the streets instead of doing time in some federal prison. Maybe there is yet another chance in the wings to get a rope around their necks, goodness only knows there are lots of opportunities.
It’s not just Karl Rove Hillary. It’s another vast right wing conspiracy. Just check out F.R Hillary, everybody, here, with no exceptions, bashes you without mercy.
You should be making a list and since I’m the one who ratted out F.R., I should get first place on the list you worthless, piece of shit.
Hillary doesn't 'get it'... Young people aren't buying this crap any more than they're buying Bill Clinton's rape excuses... The press might be willing to play the fool for Hillary - but they're old too...
Old as the hills...
Hillary's yesterday - she controls the corrupt part of the base AND old democrats too stupid to use a computer. Oh, and the MSM. That's not enough to pull off the high level lies she putting out.
"Absolutely not," Clinton insisted...
What a farce.
