FWIW, the Sanders campaign is reporting the story as true - I’m on the mailing list and got the following e-mail this morning:

Subject: Wild story from Clinton fundraiser last night

[my name] -

Last night Hillary Clinton hosted an outdoor fundraiser in Colorado (a state that already caucused) where “Event Chairs” could bundle $27,000 and “Champions” contributed $2,700.

But a crazy thing happened when she got ready to speak. Her campaign actually “turned on a static noise machine” pointed at the press so they couldn’t hear what she was saying to the financial elite in attendance.

Look, this campaign is funded by emails like this one. So this is technically a Bernie Sanders fundraiser. No noise machine here - we’ll say it directly to you and any members of the press who are on this email list: If Bernie Sanders is elected, he is going to take on a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign finance system. He’s going to fight for universal health care, keep fossil fuels in the ground, ensure no bank is too big to fail and no banker too powerful to jail.
