WikiLeaks on Thursday said President Trump was "wrong" to criticize former Army soldier Chelsea Manning as an "ungrateful traitor" who should not have been released from prison.

"Trump is wrong," WikiLeaks tweeted in response to a tweet from the president earlier Thursday morning.

"Manning was found innocent of 'aiding the enemy' & Pentagon admitted under oath no-one harmed."

The president on Thursday ripped Manning, whose prison sentence was commuted by Obama shortly before leaving office.

“Ungrateful TRAITOR Chelsea Manning, who should never have been released from prison, is now calling President Obama a weak leader. Terrible!” Trump tweeted.

Manning in her first column since Obama commuted her sentence said Obama had "few permanent accomplishments."
