Jeff Weaver, Bernie Sanders' campaign manager, is threatening to sue the DNC for suspending its access to the national voter database after party leaders accused the Sanders camp of "systematically accessing Clinton campaign data." Weaver said the data on millions of Democratic donors and voters has been "stolen" by the DNC and threatened to bring the issue to federal court this afternoon if the DNC continues to "hold our data hostage."





JEFF WEAVER: I don't know the motivation of every single person over at the DNC, but what I can tell you is is you look at the pattern of conduct, there is a concern about the Saturday night debate schedule, making it difficult for campaigns to get their messages out.



In this case it looks like they are trying to help the Clinton campaign. We're taking on the establishment, I'm sure there are people in the Democratic establishment who are not happy about the overwhelming success Sen. Sanders is having across this country.



We are determined to win this campaign, and we are going to win this campaign by talking about the issues that are important to voters all across the country, that are important to the American people.



To do that, we need our data, which has been stolen by the DNC. That's what we want back.





DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz weighed in with a statement of her own."Once the DNC became aware that the Sanders campaign had inappropriately and systematically accessed Clinton campaign data, and in doing so violated the agreement that all the presidential campaigns have signed with the DNC, as the agreement provides, we directed NGP VAN to suspend the Sanders campaign's access to the system until the DNC is provided with a full accounting of whether or not this information was used and the way in which it was disposed," she said.Full event:
