Donald Trump has offered praise several times for WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange — but only when it's to his benefit
"WikiLeaks shows how crooked the whole thing is," Trump said during an interview. At a rally, he told his supporters: "I love reading those WikiLeaks."But the business mogul hasn't always praised the whistleblowing group. During a 2010 interview, Trump said WikiLeaks was "disgraceful."
"Julian Assange said 'a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta' - why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!" Trump tweeted on Jan. 4, 2017. Trump was criticized after his seemingly supportive tweets of Assange and the next day tried to distance himself from the WikiLeaks founder.
