Americans should listen to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s denials that Russia was the source of hacked Democratic emails released by his group over the summer, said Kellyanne Conway, a senior advisor to President-elect Donald Trump.
“This was the information that Assange put forward. I think that’s a bombshell” Conway told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday, referring to excerpts from a transcript released by Fox News of Assange’s interview with Sean Hannity.
Assange told Hannity that his source was not the Russian government, and “not a state party” adding President Barack Obama is trying to “delegitimize the Trump administration” with accusations that Russia engaged in hacking to help Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton.
