Top Sanders Aide Defends DNC Chair in Wikileaks Controversy

Tad Devine, who served as the top strategist on Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, came the defense of Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile Tuesday after hacked emails showed what some read as improper coordination between Brazile and the Clinton campaign.

Brazile said the question in the email was for a normal upcoming appearance on CNN and said she would regularly contact both campaigns for guidance.

"Yes that is absolutely true,”Devine said of Brazile’s account of the matter in an email to NBC News. "She would get in touch all the time for guidance, so I can verify her recollection on this issue."

The email, allegedly stolen from Clinton Campaign chair John Podesta’s personal account and posted WikiLeaks, showed Brazile communicating with a Clinton aide about a question CNN planned to ask her. Brazile was a paid CNN contributor, and many observers assumed the question was one CNN planned to ask Clinton in a joint town hall with Sanders and Clinton.

That would have been improper since Brazile was also the co-chair of the DNC and thus supposed to remain neutral. But both Brazile and CNN denied that she even had access to the town hall questions, let alone leaked them to the Clinton campaign. Devine agreed.

"I don't think she gave anybody the questions,” he [Tad Devine] said. "I was in touch with her all the time."

The Clinton campaign has refused to authenticate the emails
