U.S. accusations that WikiLeaks is helping Russian hackers influence the upcoming election hasn't stopped the controversial website from dumping emails, allegedly stolen from a Hillary Clinton aide.

On Monday, WikiLeaks released an additional batch of 2,000 emails allegedly stolen from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, which could fuel negative press coverage of her candidacy.

This came after the site dumped the first batch of emails last Friday, the same day U.S. intelligence agencies publicly blamed the Russian government for hacking the emails of U.S. officials and political groups earlier this year. Allegedly, the Russian government wants to influence U.S. public opinion by leaking sensitive documents to sites including WikiLeaks. Independent security experts suspect that the hacking has been done to favor Clinton's Republican presidential rival Donald Trump.
