A hacker named "Guccifer 2.0" Tuesday published what it said was a dossier of Democratic National Committee documents on Hillary Clinton describing how she should respond to attacks on such issues as the Benghazi attacks and the email scandal.

Guccifer 2.0 described the post as "a big folder of docs devoted to Hillary Clinton that I found on the DNC server" on a blog, Fox News reports.

"The DNC collected all info about the attacks on Hillary Clinton and prepared the ways of her defense, memos, etc., including the most sensitive issues like email hacks," the blog post continued.

The documents include a "HRC Defense Master Doc" detailing Clinton's defense points on the 2012 Libyan attacks and the server controversy, Fox reports.

Other documents include a "2016 Democrats Position Cheat Sheet," "Attacks on Clinton Family Members" — and a list of "Clinton Foundation Donors $25K+."

The post also said that it's "time to keep my word and here're the docs I promised you."

The DNC's computers were hacked last week. Guccifer 2.0 claimed in a June 15 blog post that documents that had been accessed in the breach included opposition research on Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

Guccifer 2.0 also posted files that claimed to disclose Democratic Party donors that allegedly were obtained via the breach, according to Fox.

The committee has not responded to requests for comment from Fox News. Officials continue to search for the source of the breach, with some saying that the Russian government had a role in it.

CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that said it was aiding the DNC in its investigation, still contends that the breach occurred at the hand of groups linked to the Russian government. These groups include "Fancy Bear" and "Cozy Bear," Fox reports.
