Politico: Donna Brazile’s Email to Clinton Campaign ‘Had Exact Wording’ of Roland Martin Email Before Debate

Hadas Gold reports in Politico on new developments in the Wikileaks revelation that interim DNC chair Donna Brazile emailed the exact text of a CNN town hall question to Hillary Clinton’s campaign before the event last March.

From Politico:

A new email obtained by POLITICO is shedding more light on the mystery of whether and how interim DNC chair Donna Brazile might have obtained the text of a proposed question from a town hall between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in advance, and possibly shared it with the Clinton campaign.

And now CNN, which co-hosted the town hall with cable network TV One, is pointing the finger at its media partner for what appears to be a breach of the traditional secrecy surrounding the questions for such events.

That email, from Brazile to the campaign, was included in yesterday’s release of hacked emails by Wikileaks of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta.
