WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Friday that the problem with secretly collecting documents about Donald Trump is that nothing he can publish is more outrageous than what Trump himself says daily.

And he claimed that both Trump and former Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders should have done more to highlight Hillary Clinton's lack of 'judgment and experience' handling Libya while she was secretary of state.

'We do have some information about the Republican campaign,' Assange said on 'Fox & Friends.'

But 'from the point of view of an investigative journalist organization like WikiLeaks, the problem with the Trump campaign is that it's actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth every second day,'

Julian Assange said Friday that his WikiLeaks organization has some information about Donald Trump's campaign but can't compete with the sensational things Trump himself says regularly

Trump has stayed in the headlines with a series of controversial statements that are often more damaging than anything WikiLeaks might publish

'That's a very strange reality for most of the media to be in,' he said.

Trump, the Republican nominee for president, is known as a brash straight-talking politician whose shoot-from-the-hip style consistently gets him into trouble with reporters and Democratic politicians.

He has criticized war hero John McCain, questioned the impartiality of a federal judge because of his Mexican heritage, flip-flopped on his longstanding illegal immigration policies, mocked a disabled reporter, and the list goes on.

Assange's organization has also published more than 20,000 documents related to Hillary Clinton's history as America's top diplomat.

Assange spoke from the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he has been holed up since 2012 as he fights extradition to Sweden related to a rape allegation that he denies

'A major failure of the Trump campaign and the Bernie Sanders campaign,' he said Friday, is that 'Hillary Clinton tried to run on her having judgment and experience in the State Department.'

'Later on, those campaigns – too late in the process, in my view – started picking up that the experience was mostly a bad experience.'

'So for exampe, Libya: We published 1,700 emails about her involvement in Libya. Benghazi is just a small part of that.'

'She was the leading architect, the leading political force driving to destroy the Libyan state,' Assange said.

Assange said Hillary Clinton hasn't been criticized enough for her failed regime-change push in Libya

Clinton was the 'architect' behind deposing Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi, which created a power vacuum later filled by the ISIS terror army

Some senior Pentagon generals, he recalled, opposed the idea of deposing Muammar Gaddafi because they feared 'radical jihadi groups would move in and take it over, which they did. It's not a failed state, ISIS, etcetera.'

Assange was all business during his 12-minute interview but there was one comic moment when his cellphone rang.

Assange spoke via video link from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has been holed up for more than four years as he fights Swedish extradition requests related to a rape allegation.
