Trump Jr. corresponded with WikiLeaks privately on Twitter
President Trump’s eldest son occasionally exchanged private messages with WikiLeaks on Twitter before the 2016 election, The Atlantic reportedon Monday.
The WikiLeaks Twitter account reportedly sent a direct message to Trump Jr. in late September 2016 alerting him that an anti-Trump site run by a political action committee (PAC) was “about to launch.”
The message offered the password to the site.
"The PAC is a recycled pro-Iraq war PAC.
We have guessed the password. It is ‘putintrump.’
See ‘About’ for who is behind it. Any comments?" WikiLeaks wrote, according to The Atlantic.
“Off the record I don’t know who that is, but I’ll ask around,” Trump Jr. reportedly responded to the account the following day.
It is unclear if he followed through with the offer.
The correspondence has been given to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, The Atlantic reported.
WikiLeaks published troves of stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta ahead of the election.
The U.S. intelligence community has linked the releases to a multi-prong effort by the Russian government to interfere in the election.
WikiLeaks has denied any connections to the Kremlin.
A representative for WikiLeaks did not immediately return a request for comment.
According to The Atlantic, the correspondence continued until July 2017 and largely consisted of WikiLeaks sending messages to Trump Jr. that went unreturned.
The organization, for instance, reportedly asked for Trump’s tax returns, which the president has refused to release to the public.
