Photographer: Andrew Harrer/BloombergDonna Brazile, a top official with the Democratic National Committee who also was a CNN analyst, allegedly notified Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in March about a question to be asked at a “town hall” debate during the primaries, according to documents posted by WikiLeaks.
It marks the second purported e-mail indicating Brazile had tipped off the Clinton campaign to questions that were supposed to be kept secret during the Democratic primaries, when the DNC was ostensibly neutral. The alleged e-mail posted Monday said Clinton would be questioned by a woman from Flint, Michigan, about the town’s tainted water. An alleged memo released earlier told the campaign Clinton would be asked about the death penalty at another event that month.
