Julian Assange: Yes, I’d Release Damning Info on Donald Trump, Too

Julian Assange of WikiLeaks founding fame said in an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity that yes indeed, he’d release damning and damaging information about Donald Trump, same as Hillary Clinton – and that he might do just that in four years.

The remarks speak to accusations of Assange’s skewing of the presidential election in favor of Trump with the release of documents that painted Clinton in a negative light, right at crucial campaign times.

Specifically, Assange told Hannity he’d have “no problem” bringing to light information that put Trump in a poor political light, should the situation arise.

And during the interview, he also spoke of the largely left-driven accusations about Russia hacking the election to purposely bring Trump to the White House – a story he denied.

From Business Insider:

“In an interview on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s radio program, Assange said that in four years, he might release hacked information on Trump — if Trump should upset someone that ends up providing WikiLeaks with such documents.

“Assange also would not say how he received the hacked emails from Clinton’s campaign chair, John Podesta, which his organization leaked in a prolonged fashion throughout October leading up to Election Day, seemingly to create maximum effect.

“U.S. intelligence has pointed to Russia being involved in hacking political organizations and operatives in the United States, with the White House on Thursday going as far to suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin was directly involved in the operation.

“But Assange said he did not received the hacked documents that he dumped from Russian sources, although he pointed to two other prominent leak outlets — Guccifer 2.0 and DC Leaks — as appearing to be tied to the Russians. However, he said the appearance was so overwhelming that it might have been specifically to make people think the two operations were operating in coordination with Russia.”
