WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Russia is not behind the emails from Hillary Clinton, her State Department staff, allies, and Democrats that WikiLeaks has published.
"The Clinton camp has been able to project a neo-McCarthyist hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything," Assange told Russia Today.
"Hillary Clinton has stated multiple times, falsely, that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies had assessed that Russia was the source of our publications. That's false — we can say that the Russian government is not our source."
The WikiLeaks founder expressed concerns about Clinton's health and said he felt sorry for the Democratic presidential nominee "because I see someone who is eaten alive by their ambitions, tormented literally to the point where they become sick — for example faint — as a result of going on, and going with their ambitions."
The first publication of emails from WikiLeaks in July showed the Democratic Party's disdain for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and led to the removal of the party's chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
After that, WikiLeaks posted a series of emails from the account of Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta.
To date, WikiLeaks has released more than 30,000 emails from Clinton's private email server from when she was secretary of state, about 20,000 from the Democratic National Committee, and more than 50,000 emails from Podesta's account, according to Fox News.
