Has Hillary said anything about bankster's threats to withhold donations over Warren's statements?

It's been widely reported that Wall Street banksters have threatened to withhold donations to Democratic candidates if Elizabeth Warren continues to publicly pillory them.

I've not seen any comments from Hillary Clinton on this matter. A Google search came up empty.

I would hope that any good Democrat would be outraged. Does anyone have any links to statements from Ms. Clinton on this matter?
