Hacked emails from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta show the former secretary of state’s family was eager to move its New York City-based foundation from Harlem to Wall Street in 2011.

Another round of WikiLeaks documents the U.S. government says were stolen by Russian state actors demonstrates the strong desire by the Clinton family had to be seated in New York’s financial district. A Nov. 15, 2011, by Laura Graham, The Clinton Foundation’s former COO, conveyed the family’s wish with Mr. Podesta and Foundation CEO Bruce Lindsey.

“CVC, BC, HRC and others have expressed the desire to move our Harlem personnel (10 total and all employed by CESC) to Water Street now,” Mrs. Graham said. “I have David Beale exploring the options of fitting them in with the 18th floor at Water street including related costs and possible displacement of CF related but separately incorporated entities in the following order: AHG, CHAI, CGSGI. I expect to get his proposal sometime next week.”

Mrs. Graham said that moving would mean the U.S. General Services Administration would be stuck paying for “an empty 8600 square feet until August 2014,” and that rankled landlords might leak the story to reporters.

“The advantages of course are obvious — better business continuity, management, etc. Should I proceed with exploring moving our Harlem personnel to Water Street within next few months?” the former COO continued.

The document comes in conjunction with others detailing three speeches the Democrat presidential hopeful made to Goldman Sachs in 2013.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign has declined to verify the text of the Arizona, New York and South Carolina events, Reuters reported Sunday.

WikiLeaks, which plans to release 50,000 documents linked to Mr. Podesta’s email account, reported Monday that a “state actor” manged to cut off founder Julian Assange’s internet access.

“We have activated the appropriate contingency plans,” founder Mr. Assange said in a statement released after the attack.
