Here’s what New Yorkers are reading on their way to work this morning:

Zing!
And the Post reports on how Bill’s speaking fees “spiked” while Hillary was Secretary of State:
Records show that Bill’s earnings from appearance fees — both foreign and domestic — spiked at $17 million in 2012, Hillary’s last year at State.
During Hillary’s four-year stint as secretary of state, the ex-president earned about $48 million of a $105 million speaking haul amassed between 2001 and 2013.
More than half of the $48 million was paid by companies in China, Japan, Canada, Russia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the Cayman Islands, among others.
The author writes that “of the 13 Clinton speeches that fetched $500,000 or more, only two occurred during the years his wife was not secretary of state.”
Yesterday, however, Hillary dismissed this growing scandal as a “distraction”:

Maybe next she’ll try to say it was simply a coincidence.
