Ecuador has confirmed it temporarily cut off WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s internet access in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, amid allegations Assange has been meddling in the U.S. election. Ecuadorean officials said on Tuesday they had cut off the internet on Monday morning because “in recent weeks, WikiLeaks has published a wealth of documents, impacting the U.S. election campaign.” This comes after WikiLeaks released a trove of emails in July from the Democratic National Committee, revealing how the Democratic Party favored Hillary Clinton and worked behind the scenes to discredit and defeat Bernie Sanders in the presidential primaries. More recently, WikiLeaks has also released a trove of emails from the account of Hillary Clinton campaign adviser John Podesta.
