when Richardson switched teams to endorse Obama? As far as I know there has been no reconciliation.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/clinton-confidante-bill-richardson-bashes-hillary-not-suck-up-camp-article-1.1841024

From June 2014:

"Former Bill and Hillary Clinton confidante Bill Richardson has hard feelings regarding his former friends — and he hasn’t been afraid to talk about it, now that one of them could be the next president."

'“You know I'm not in the 'Ready for Hillary' camp, right,” he told the Washington Post Monday. “It's because of our differences when I endorsed Obama.”'

'“The differences haven't healed, and I'm not in the suck-up camp,” said Richardson, who had a highly publicized falling-out with Bill and Hillary during the 2008 presidential campaign.
'

Have I missed a more recent announcement?
