One of the greatest political scandals of all time is slowly reaching its epilogue. WikiLeaks should not be held liable for publishing stolen DNC e-mails – the organization is inherently protected by the First Amendment, claim attorneys for Trump’s 2016 campaign. According to them, WikiLeaks is legally shielded from liability, since the leaked, or rather stolen e-mails, concern “newsworthy and public issues”.
This is in relation to the lawsuit filled against the Trump campaign and on behalf of two democratic donors and a former DNC staffer, who claim to be personally affected by the leak. As it is known to the public, the Federal authorities are currently investigating the possibility of a “Russia collusion”, as the media often puts it. According to the lawsuit, the leak also exposes personal data, apart from the information about Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
