Ecuador Confirms It Cut Off Assange's Internet Access in Embassy
----------------------------------------------------------------

Ecuador has confirmed it temporarily cut off Wiki Leaks 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, Wiki Leaks has published a wealth of
documents, impacting the U.S. election campaign." This comes after Wiki
Leaks 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, Wiki Leaks has also released
a trove of emails from the account of Hillary Clinton campaign adviser
John Podesta.
