ELKO, NEV. — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Friday pledged to release all the transcripts of speeches he has given to Wall Street firms — there are none — in a not-so-subtle poke at his rival Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, the former secretary of state, said during a forum broadcast Thursday night by MSNBC and Telemundo that she would release transcripts of her paid, closed-door speeches to Wall Street firms “when everyone else does.”

“Sen. Sanders accepts Clinton’s challenge,” said Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs. “That’s easy. … So now we hope Secretary Clinton keeps her word and releases the transcripts of her speeches. We hope she agrees that the American people deserve to know what she told Wall Street behind closed doors.”

The jab by the Vermont’s senator’s campaign came on the eve of the Nevada caucuses, a contest that has become unexpectedly close, according to recent polls. Both Clinton and Sanders were maintaining busy campaign schedules in the state on Friday.

1. I can only imagine how often the Clinton campaign curses Chuck Todd since he asked that question.

Makes me smile every time I think of it.
