Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta had his Twitter account taken over Wednesday, a day after he accused Russia behind the hack of years worth of his private emails that are getting posted on Wikileaks.

Podesta's account, which usually promotes Clinton's policies and campaign, instead sent out a brief one-line message in a Tweet posted Wednesday evening that definitely isn't in keeping with Podesta's political stance.

'I've switched Teams.Vote Trump 2016.Hi pol,' Podesta's account said.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta said he met with the FBI to discuss the hack of his emails, which were first posted online on Friday

The Tweet contained a link to a site that couldn't be located when DailyMail.com tried to access it. It was not immediately clear who was behind the intrusion.

A message said 'Teams.vote's server DNS address could not be found.'

The Clinton campaign confirmed the hack of the account but had little new information Wednesday evening.

'Clearly some action has been taken either on the Twitter side or our side,' Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill told reporters traveling with the candidate before her rally in Las Vegas.

'We can confirm that John’s Twitter account was hacked, which would explain the message you all disembarked from the plane and received, and we’re working on fixing it,' he said. Later Tuesday evening the tweet was removed from Podesta's site, with no explanation posted on the account.

The tweets immediately below the top one appeared legitimate – one contained a friendly exchange with celebrity chef Jose Andres, who feuded with Trump over his statements about Mexicans and pulled out of a deal to open a restaurant inside a Trump property.

A tweet from Podesta's Twitter account said he had 'switched teams' and 'Trump 2016'

The breach was another distraction for Clinton's campaign chair and senior advisor, who previously served as a counselor to President Obama and chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.

On Tuesday night, a campaign that has been hinging on boorish behavior and 90s sex scandals took a dark turn turn toward espionage and foreign manipulation as a Podesta drew a line between Donald Trump’s campaign and hacks of Democrats that the government says Russia is behind.

After days of embarrassing disclosures from the hack of his emails, Podesta laid out the shadowy connections that he said run all the way from Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone to Russian intelligence agencies.

Speaking to reporters aboard Clinton’s campaign plane Tuesday night, Podesta blasted Russian ‘interference’ in the US election less than a month away.

Podesta said he met with the FBI on Sunday to discuss the hack of his own emails, and that he was informed that his situation is being investigated as part of a broader inquiry into the hack of the Democratic National Committee and other officials.

‘They confirmed that they’re investigating the criminal hack of my email. And we of course are carefully cooperating in that investigation,’ Podesta told DailyMail.com and other reporters traveling with Clinton from Miami.

‘Russian interference in this election and their apparent attempt to influence it on behalf of Mr. Trump is I think should be of utmost concern to all Americans,’ Podesta said.

He pointed to former Nixon adviser Roger Stone, an informal adviser to Trump on occasion, as the first in a series of links surrounding the hack.

Stone, Podesta said, had already confirmed that he had been in touch with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who promised and then delivered by releasing leaked emails from Democrats.

‘So I think it’s a reasonable assumption to at least reach the conclusion that Mr. Stone had advance warning and the Trump campaign had advanced warning about what Assange was going to do,’ Podesta said.

He referred to an August 21 tweet by Stone as evidence of inside information. 'Trust me, it will soon the Podesta's time in the barrel. #CrookedHillary,' Stone tweeted, using a favorite catch phrase of Trump's.

But on that same day, Wikileaks was tweeting about Podesta, raising the possibility that Stone simply got the information online – although the article was about the investigation of a firm, The Podesta Group, that is controlled by Podesta's brother, Tony.

Podesta then pointed to a link between Assange and the hacker Guccifer 2.0, who posted DNC and other emails.

Guccifer claims to be Romanian, although US intelligence agencies announced Friday they believe Russian intelligence is behind the hacking of Democrats.

Thousands of Podesta’s emails were posted on the DCLeaks website in recent days, revealing all kinds of internal Clinton campaign workings. Podesta has not confirmed the accuracy of any individual emails that have been published.

Then Podesta asked why Trump might be acting on behalf of Russia.

He said Trump has been ‘more consistent with Russian foreign policy than US foreign policy,’ citing Trump’s statements about ‘weakening NATO’ and stating that the US might not rush to defend allies who hadn’t made good on their NATO commitments.

He also pointed to Trump’s statements on Crimea – Trump once said there had been no invasion but then claimed he had been misunderstood – and said it may be part of Trump’s ‘apparent love affair, bromance … with [Russian President] Vladimir Putin.

‘It may just be policy. It may be just that they’ve found somebody who essentially has adopted lock, stock, and barrel the Putin foreign policy,' Podesta said.

'Or perhaps it’s Mr. Trump’s deep engagement and ties with Russian interests in his business affairs,’ he added, mentioning some Trump connections to Russian oligarchs.

Podesta brought up Trump’s statement in Monday’s presidential debate that it isn’t known if Russia was behind the hacks and that there may be no hack.

Podesta said Trump made those claims ‘notwithstanding the statement on Friday from the Director of National Intelligence and Department of Homeland Security.'

'He’s either willfully ignoring the information that’s coming from the highest reaches of the US intelligence community or he is, as our former acting CIA director Mike Morrell said, an “unwitting agent of the Russian federation”’ Podesta said.

Podesta said the timing of the email dump seemed intended to counter Donald Trump’s infamous ‘p****’ tape, which came out shortly before.

‘I think they clearly intended to. It wasn’t any coincidence I think that within minutes of the Access Hollywood tape coming out they decided that this was their counter move to try to take the public’s attention off the despicable things that Donald Trump said on that video.

But he acknowledged what information he had was circumstantial and that he had no hard evidence Stone – or the Trump camp proper – knew or helped further the hack, which would be a crime.

‘There is definitely circumstantial evidence that Mr. Stone must have been witting about what was likely to come. Mr. Stone, notwithstanding that he’s not a former member of his campaign team, has been a longtime adviser to Mr. Trump and so I think there’s at least a reasonable belief that Mr. Assange may have passed this information on to Mr. Stone,’ he said.

He said the hack was clearly intended to hurt the campaign.

‘I think they clearly intended to. It wasn’t any coincidence I think that within minutes of the Access Hollywood tape coming out they decided that this was their counter move to try to take the public’s attention off the despicable things that Donald Trump said on that video,’ he said.

Stone told a Florida GOP organization he was expecting an ‘October surprise’ when asked about Assange.

‘Well, it could be any number of things. I actually have communicated with Assange. I believe the next tranche of his documents pertain to the Clinton Foundation but there's no telling what the October surprise may be.

Trump, in a campaign speech Tuesday night, repeatedly referenced Wikileaks in his remarks, and cited revelations that emerged from hacks.

'These Wikileaks emails confirm what those of us here today have known all along: Hillary Clinton is the vessel for a corrupt global establishment that is raiding our country and surrendering our sovereignty,' Trump said. 'This criminal government cartel doesn’t recognize borders, but believes in global governance, unlimited immigration, and rule by corporations.'
