WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange on Wednesday night promised to leak “thousands” of document pages pertaining to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and the presidential election.

Speaking to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, the mysterious Assange claimed an upcoming leak would have a “significant” impact on the coming general election.


“We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material,” said the WikiLeaks leader, who remains in exile at Ecuador's embassy in London. “There's a variety of different types of documents and different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining.”

In the wake of a massive summer hacking breach of the DNC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the threat of another release of damaging documents has loomed large in the minds of Democratic operatives, who are concerned that an October surprise could adversely affect Clinton’s campaign.

While refusing to unveil a timetable for the leak, Assange addressed whether the documents in the group’s position could be damaging to the Democratic nominee.

“I think it's significant,” he said. “You know, it depends on how it catches fire in the public and in the media.”
