Earlier today, Elizabeth Warren said she was “troubled” by Barack Obama making $400,000 for a Wall Street speech.
That’s an odd thing for Warren to say considering she reported $10,000 in speaking fees from a Washington, D.C. lobbying firm while the firm was lobbying for student loan lender Sallie Mae.
The firm also paid Warren $10,000 for “educational programs” in 2008. And in 2009, they paid her $20,000 for “occasional” lunch meetings.
According to Bloomberg, the same firm that paid Warren $40,000 for speeches and lunches also “does legal work for most of the biggest banks.”
