“Unsurprisingly, Putin has joined Trump in cheering foreign interference in the US election that is clearly created to inflict political damage on Hillary Clinton and Democrats”, Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich said in an email.

Clinton suffered a similar couch attack earlier in the day during a rally in Cleveland. The subsequent leaks have included the cellphone number of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who said she was barraged with “obscene” calls within hours. “There are so many of them I have lost track of them”.
“They went last week, I’m not sure on the details entirely, I don’t know who paid for the flights out there”.
