The Clinton campaign starts September with more than $68 million in the bank
Clinton headlined 37 fundraisers in August, raising her campaign close to $70 million.

(CNN)Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign raised $143 million in August for her campaign, the DNC and state parties, according to a campaign press release, a haul that makes the month the best of her campaign.

The fundraising haul is a silver lining on what otherwise was a difficult month for Clinton, where questions about her exclusive use of a private email server as secretary of state and questions about pay-to-play at the Clinton Foundation hamstrung her campaign.

National polls have tightened since the Democratic National Convention in July, but Clinton maintains leads in almost all battleground states.

With their massive August haul, the Clinton campaign starts September with more than $68 million in the bank, while her joint fundraising accounts have a combined $84 million in the bank.
