WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange refused to say whether a foreign government was involved in the leak of Democratic National Committee emails that were published by his anti-secrecy organization. "I do think it's an interesting question, of course, as to who our sources are," Assange said. In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday, Assange repeatedly declined to say whether the source of the emails was a foreign government and called it "an interesting question" for the press. It's a security matter for us as to who our sources are," Assange said. When asked whether Assange hopes the leaks lead to the election of Republican nominee Donald Trump as president, Assange said that is "irrelevant" and "that's not why we publish."
