The email disclosure is not the first one, as on July 22, the whistleblowers published 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from key figures in the DNC, such as Communications Director Luis Miranda, National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan and Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer. The release showed that the Democratic Party's top officials deliberately worked to obstruct Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders' campaign to favor Hillary Clinton's nomination bid.
In August, the website's founder, Julian Assange, pledged to release "significant" documents from Clinton's surrounding people before the presidential elections are held in the United States in November.
