Its in the WSJ, and they spend about half the article furiously spinning to downplay it, but this seems like a major revelation:
Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone privately sought information he considered damaging to Hillary Clinton from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to emails reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

In a Sept. 18, 2016, message, Mr. Stone urged an acquaintance who knew Mr. Assange to ask the WikiLeaks founder for emails related to Mrs. Clintons alleged role in disrupting a purported Libyan peace deal in 2011 when she was secretary of state, referring to her by her initials.
Please ask Assange for any State or HRC e-mail from August 10 to August 30--particularly on August 20, 2011, [Stone wrote to an assumed Assange intermediary].
