Hillary Clinton’s campaign escalated its response Wednesday to WikiLeaks’ ongoing publication of hacked emails from aide John Podesta, demanding Donald Trump’s campaign “answer for its possible ties to foreign espionage” and describing the theft as a “modern-day Watergate.”
“It is also now clear that the illegal hack of John Podesta’s email is the work of the Russian government, according to the FBI,” campaign spokesman Glen Caplin said in a statement issued after Roger Stone, a longtime Trump confidant, told NBC News that he was in touch with WikiLeaks through a “mutual friend” of founder Julian Assange.
