Report: Trump campaign had access to WikiLeaks documents

President Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and others in the Trump Organization were provided access to hacked WikiLeaks documents amid the 2016 presidential campaign.

According to a CNN report, the President, his son and other members of his team received an email with a decryption key and web address for the hacked documents on Sept. 4. 2016.

It came only a few weeks before WikiLeaks and Trump Jr. began an exchange through direct messages on Twitter. The President’s eldest son released the correspondence— which began in September 2016 — on the social media platform last month.

He's since defended the communications, reportedly comparing them to sitting down with news organizations like NBC or CNN.

Trump Jr.’s attorney, Alan Futerfas told the news station his client did not remember the message, nor did he take any action on it.

The email — signed by a “Mike Erikson” — was turned over by the Trump Organization to Congressional Investigators looking into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

For now, investigators are attempting to establish the legitimacy of the email and whether it further illustrates WikiLeaks efforts to connect with the Trump Campaign. They’re also still looking to determine the identity of the sender.

The mysterious message hit Trump’s inbox two months after the hacked Democratic National Committee emails were made public and a month before the leak of emails from the Clinton Campaign and its chairman John Podesta.

The email also indicated the Trump Campaign would be able to access records from former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who hacked emails were made public by a Russian front group 10 days later.
