In the summer of 2016, as WikiLeaks was publishing documents from Democratic operatives allegedly obtained by Kremlin-directed hackers, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange turned down a large cache of documents related to the Russian government, U.S. news publication Foreign Policy has reported.
“WikiLeaks declined to publish a wide-ranging trove of documents – at least 68 gigabytes of data – that came from inside the Russian Interior Ministry,” reads the statement.
