Some analysts and media outlets have claimed that the WikiLeaks emails were hacked by Russian intelligence agencies. In October, the Homeland Security Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence said they were “confident” that the Russian government “directed” this year’s leaks.

Assange has said that WikiLeaks will not reveal the identity of its sources.

Law enforcement sources told Fox News on Wednesday that an investigation into the Clinton Foundation was now a “very high priority.”

“There is an avalanche of new information coming in every day,” one source told Fox News, adding that some of the information is coming from the WikiLeaks-released documents and emails.
