Exclusive: Email shows effort to give Trump campaign WikiLeaks documents

Washington (CNN)Candidate Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and others in the Trump Organization received an email in September 2016 offering a decryption key and website address for hacked WikiLeaks documents, according to an email provided to congressional investigators.

The September 4 email was sent during the final stretch of the 2016 presidential race -- on the same day that Trump Jr. first tweeted about WikiLeaks and Clinton.

"WIKILEAKS: Hillary Clinton Sent THOUSANDS of Classified Cables Marked &quot C)" for Confidential," he tweeted, sharing a story from the Gateway Pundit, a conservative, pro-Trump website.

The email came two months after the hacked emails of the Democratic National Committee were made public and one month before WikiLeaks began leaking the contents of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's hacked emails. It arrived less than three weeks before WikiLeaks itself messaged Trump Jr. and began an exchange of direct messages on Twitter.

Sad that only Mueller will do anything and terrifying that Trump can fire him.

and this coming 2018--------------they need to be voted out of office, subpoena's issued, and open hearing with testimony being given

This lands squarely in Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnels office, they are the leadership of this gang of enablers, they are trying with all of there right wing supporting might to keep this sexual predator in office just so that he can sign legislation to hurt people, and the country---------------they are traitors
