Hillary Rodham Clinton says her family was "dead broke" after her husband Bill's presidency.
In
an interview with ABC News airing Monday, the former secretary of state
and possible presidential contender said the couple emerged from the
White House saddled with legal fees and debt. Clinton said they
struggled to finance "mortgages, for houses" and daughter Chelsea's
education.
Financial
disclosures showed that the family in 2001 owed millions of dollars in
legal bills stemming from Bill Clinton's time in the White House.
Republicans
said the remark shows it's difficult for ordinary people to relate to
Clinton, who has made a fortune in speaking fees and is promoting a new
book. Democrats leveled a similar charge against the GOP's wealthy 2012
presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.
