For nearly a decade, we’ve been told that Russian operatives hacked the Democratic National Committee and stole emails and other documents, which were then passed to WikiLeaks and published ahead of the 2016 election. Both WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and the Russian government have denied that Russia was the source of the leaked DNC materials. Although no definitive evidence has been publicly presented to prove Russia was responsible, many Americans still accept this claim as fact. However, recent declassifications and disclosures from the current Director of National Intelligence cast doubt on that narrative, revealing that parts of the intelligence community had only low confidence in Russia’s involvement. What, then, is the most likely source of the leaked DNC documents in 2016? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #340.
