History

Historical Context

July 2016, WikiLeaks released about 20,000 DNC emails stolen by Russian-linked groups Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear, exposing internal disputes and prompting Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s resignation. The breach sparked a cyber-security overhaul and intensified scrutiny of party governance. Today, a new 192-page report by DNC Chair Ken Martin revisits those divisions, warning unresolved conflicts could again threaten cohesion.
