Trump: Clinton Should Resign Over Allegedly Leaked Town Hall Question

Donald Trump on Thursday said that Hillary Clinton should resign from the presidential race after hacked emails published by WikiLeaks suggested her campaign received a question ahead of time before a Democratic primary town hall.
"It was just learned that Hillary Clinton was given the exact questions to a previous debate word for word by Donna Brazile, who is now under tremendous pressure to resign from the DNC, as she should be,” Trump said. “But I ask you, why shouldn't Hillary Clinton resign from the race? She was given these questions. She used these questions, studied the questions, got the perfect answer for the questions and never said that she did something that was totally wrong and inappropriate, hence the name Crooked Hillary.”
Trump didn’t mention, or perhaps he didn’t know, that in the hacked email Brazile appeared to leak a single question to Clinton about the death penalty. According to the email, that tip came a day before a CNN Democratic primary town hall with then-opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), not a debate.
Brazile left her position as a CNN commentator this summer to chair the Democratic National Committee. CNN has denied giving out any questions ahead of time, and Brazile has denied both having access to any questions and sharing any questions with the Clinton campaign.
