Donna Brazile, who will serve as interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee through the election, showed some frustration with Bernie Sanders’ campaign during the primary season, according to email correspondence released by WikiLeaks.

“I have no intentions of touching this. Why? Because I will cuss out the Sanders camp!” Brazile, who has been a Hillary Clinton longtime friend, said in a May 13 email after a Washington Post reporter reached out to her for comment about a “fight between the Sanders camp and DNC over adequate representation on the platform committee.”


A day before the start of the start of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Sunday announced she is stepping down at the end of the national convention, following the leak of DNC private messages that showed disparaging remarks against Sanders and his campaign.

Brazile’s correspondence ended with Mark Paustenbach, National Press Secretary and Deputy Communications Director of Democratic National Committee saying he sent the Post reporter background “along the same lines of what we previously gave to POLITICO.”

“Nothing new,” he said.
