A Politico reporter called himself a “hack” for sending paragraphs from his story to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta ahead of the article’s publication, according to Podesta’s emails published by WikiLeaks.

“Can I send u a couple of grafs, OTR [off the record], to make sure I’m not fucking anything up?” Politico’s Glenn Thrush wrote in an April 2015 exchange with Podesta.
