In a move that could boost Donald Trump's election campaign, WikiLeaks is on the verge of releasing more of Hillary Clinton's emails from her stint as US secretary of state. Clinton's use of a homebrew email server and a private email address for sending classified information has dogged her presidential campaign -- and Julian Assange is happy for that to continue.

The WikiLeaks founder, currently in exile in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has made no secret of his loathing for Clinton. She is the subject of a federal investigation, and Assange is happy to add fuel to the fire by publicly releasing another batch of emails.

Earlier in the year, WikiLeaks made available tens of thousands of Clinton's emails in searchable form. Speaking on UK TV this weekend, Assange confirmed that there were more to come. He did not give any hint about when they might be published, how many emails there are, or what the subject matter is. He said:

We have upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton [...] We have emails pending publication, that is correct.

While any attacks on Clinton clearly work in Trump's favor, and Assange's dislike of 'liberal war hawk' Clinton is well-known, he has not suggested that he holds any positive views of the presumptive Republican candidate either. But with the presidential campaign heating up, and issues of security becoming ever more important, Clinton's emails will continue to haunt her for some time to come -- particularly if Assange has any say in things.
