Wikleaks release shows targeting of Democratic chair

The latest Wikileaks release reveals that the Clinton campaign looked to neuter the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee as far back as December.

 

Among the options discussed in the hacked campaign documents was forcing the chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, out of office after the party's convention.

 

Other options outlined in a memo by top campaign aide Heather Stone would have kept Wasserman Schultz in place, but in a weakened capacity.

 

The memo urged "systemic shifts at the DNC leadership level" to help Hillary Clinton win the presidency.

 

Wikileaks has been releasing thousands of hacked emails from campaign chairman John Podesta.

 

Wasserman Schultz announced her resignation just before the convention last summer after an earlier Wikileaks hack of party emails showed party officials had favored Clinton over challenger Bernie Sanders.
