WikiLeaks Plans New Leaks on US Election
Founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has promised to release approximately one million documents related to the US presidential election. Assange has said that the documents will be published in the coming weeks.
Assange, now 45 and still residing in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has deemed the documents relating directly to the elections ‘significant’ and has promised their release before 8 November 2016.
While Assange has criticised Clinton for demonising the work his group does, he firmly denies any intention to hinder Clinton’s campaign behind the imminent leaks.
In Assange’s opinion:
“The material that WikiLeaks is going to publish before the end of the year is of … a very significant moment in different directions, affecting three powerful organisations in three different states as well as … the US election process”.
The main themes of the material include war, weaponry, oil, mass surveillance, Google and the US elections.
