ABA Journal: DNC lawsuit alleges Trump campaign was a racketeering enterprise

http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/dnc_suit_alleges_trump_campaign_was_a_racketeering_enterprise_participating

The suit claims Russia hacked the DNC computers in July 2015 and April 2016. Then, in 2016, the suit alleges, individuals tied to the Kremlin notified the Trump campaign that Russia was prepared to use the stolen emails to damage Clinton and the Democratic Party.

“Rather than report these repeated messages that Russia intended to interfere with U.S. elections, the Trump campaign and its agents gleefully welcomed Russia’s help,” the suit contends.

The stolen data was transmitted to WikiLeaks, which “disseminated the information at times when it would best suit the Trump campaign,” according to the suit.

Most of the information in the suit has already been made public, the Times points out.
