WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy website that has played an outsize role in this election, issued a comment on Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.
“By biasing its internal electoral market the DNC selected the less competitive candidate defeating the purpose of running a primary,” the WikiLeaks Twitter account wrote near midnight.
Throughout the 2016 elections, the website operated by Julian Assange published a trove of hacked Democratic National Committee emails---along with emails source from the Gmail account of longtime Clinton adviser John Podesta.
The DNC emails suggested that Democratic officials heavily favored Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders. They discussed strategies on how to rid themselves of Sanders after it became clear that Clinton would win.
