WikiLeaks releases thousands of new John Podesta emails

WikiLeaks released 2,086 additional emails Monday obtained illegally from the inbox of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair.

The release brought the total number of hacked emails published to date above 4,000, following a leak of 2,050 emails on Friday afternoon.

Clinton confirmed the authenticity of the emails Sunday during the second presidential debate, when she clarified comments that were exposed by the leak.

The Democratic nominee has argued the leaks stem from Russian animosity toward the United States. Clinton has repeatedly suggested that the hacks have been carried out by Russian-backed groups in an effort to boost Donald Trump’s candidacy.
