Hillary Rodham Clinton amassed, together with her husband, some $140 million in total earnings over the last eight years, sought out a book about how to get better at emailing and has seasonal allergies.
Such were the details that came flooding out of campaign headquarters in Brooklyn and State Department headquarters in Washington on Friday, after Clinton operatives decided it was time to shed new light on the personal history and finances of a candidate who is often so guarded. They dumped on reporters seven years of tax returns, updated information about the eye-popping fees the Clintons collected giving speeches, and a detailed write-up from the candidate’s physician about the state of her health.
