Clinton Labor secretary: Bill Clinton should stop paid speeches

Former President Bill Clinton’s former Labor secretary is recommending that his old boss stop giving paid speeches and disclose everything for the sake of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

“She has got to, and her husband as well, got to just put everything out. I mean more disclosure than any other candidate,” said Robert Reich on ABC News’s “This Week.”

Bill Clinton, he added, “has to stop the paid speeches.”

{mosads}Reich was asked if he thinks there are any fundamental problems with Clinton’s campaign.

“I think that what she has done on immigration, on voting rights, on criminal defense and criminal justice system I think are very, very important statements,” he said. “She’s put her Republican opponents on the defensive. She’s running a general election campaign already, but I do think the issue of sort of disclosure, of full disclosure, is a key vulnerability.”

The Clintons have come under fire in recent months, since Hillary launched her second White House bid, for not being upfront about various issues, such as the Clinton Foundation’s fundraising.

Reich served as Bill Clinton’s Labor secretary from 1993 until 1997.
