"Better if a guy named Sayeed Farouk was reporting that a guy named Christopher Hayes was the shooter," John Podesta wrote in a Dec. 2, 2015, email to Karen Finney, a Clinton campaign spokeswoman.

Podesta was referring to MSNBC host Christopher Hayes, who had tweeted at the time that a U.S. citizen named "Sayeed Farouk" was believed to be one of the people involved in the shooting.

In the attack last year, 14 people were killed and 22 were injured in a shooting at a San Bernardino social center. The incident was investigated as an act of terrorism.

Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were killed in a shootout with police.

The email is one of more than 11,000 published by WikiLeaks so far. On Saturday, WikiLeaks dropped a new batch of emails it says were stolen from the archive of Podesta.

U.S. intelligence agencies have said the release may be part of a Russia-backed plot to interfere with the presidential election.
