WikiLeaks gave Donald Trump Jr advice during US election – and it’s been leaked

A series of Twitter messages between WikiLeaks and the President’s son during the period before and just after the US election has been leaked.

• advise Donald Trump Sr not to concede if he loses the election, but to say it was rigged
