The DNC maintains a trove of voter information. In response to being banned from the system, the campaign filed a federal lawsuit accusing the DNC of attempting to destroy the candidate’s chances of winning the nomination.

“After discussion with the DNC, it became clear that one of our staffers accessed some modeling data from another campaign”.
Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver accused the DNC of working to protect Clinton, pointing to the party’s limited debates at low-viewership periods such as Saturday nights as an example.
Before the data breach the week had gone well for Sanders, who broke a record by reaching two million mostly small donations.
U.S. presidential aspirant senator Bernie Sanders has sued his own Democratic Party for blocking his campaign from accessing its digital database considered essential to run his election campaign.
Clinton said she, not her husband, would still choose flowers and china for state dinners, if elected president.
Snowden was referring to Clinton’s hawkish foreign policy positions, which she defended in the New Hampshire debate.
“That’s why it is so troubling to see the DNC engage in such heavy-handed favoritism benefiting Hillary Clinton, a pattern which will continue (Saturday) night with another debate deliberately scheduled to limit viewership”.
During the debate, Clinton could choose to play down the issue in the way that Sanders did with his dismissal of questions about Clinton’s email use.
“Yes, I apologize”, he said.
“You can say that is a tax on the middle class”, Sanders said, adding: “I think a buck-sixty-one is a pretty good investment”.
Bernie Sanders supporters rally alongside Hillary Clinton supporters outside the debate hall before the Democratic presidential primary debate.
“Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by 31 percentage points, 59-28 percent, among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who are registered to vote in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, with Martin O’Malley in the single digits”, that report states.
The three candidates demonstrated sharp differences with Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, showing sympathy for allowing some Syrian refugees into this country, decrying blanket suspicion of Muslims, and endorsing curbs on gun ownership. The shootings, as well as earlier attacks in Paris, have pushed national security to the forefront of the 2016 White House race. “It was not, as the Sanders campaign has described it, a mistake”.
The previous two debates have been generally cordial affairs, suggesting that Sanders and Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor, will need to find new ways of drawing contrasts with Clinton if they want to change the dynamics of the race.
Both have charged the DNC has purposely scheduled few debates to help the former secretary of state, even burying the past debate and tonight’s on a Saturday night to limit exposure.

O’Malley also offered a harsh rebuke to the “political danger” wielded by Trump and other “unscrupulous leaders (who) try to turn us upon each other”.
