Assange Says He Is Being Targeted By Hillary’s Campaign And Denies Interfering In US Elections

WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, has declared that the Hillary Clinton campaign has attacked the servers they are using. Until now, there have been 20 individual releases of hacked John Podesta emails over the past three weeks by WikiLeaks, who have since been accused by Hillary Clinton of teaming up with the Russians to sabotage the United States (US) electoral process.

At a conference in Argentina on Wednesday (26 October), Assange claimed via the telephone that the release has unnerved the Clinton campaign, pushing them to attack WikiLeaks.

On Ecuador’s decision to shut down his internet, Assange said he viewed it as a “strategic position” and understood Ecuador’s predicament of having to possibly deal with the US obstruct their elections next year.

Assange said WikiLeaks will not be affected by the decision.

However, Assange did reject the idea that WikiLeaks is interfering with the US election.

The WikiLeaks founder did not spare major US news channels, accusing them of being controlled by the supporters of Hillary Clinton.

However, not all of Assange’s activities are as saintly as he projects them to be. Nadya Tolokno, a member of the anti-Putin Russian punk band, Pussy Riot, claimed Assange was working in collaboration with Moscow. After visiting Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2014, Tolokno was convinced about WikiLeaks’ ties to the Kremlin. She told The Daily Beast in an interview:

Russia Today denies that it cooperates with Assange, but the connections between the two are hard to deny.
