Bernie Sanders' Presidential Campaign Sues the DNC Over Clinton Data Breach
By: Alex Seitz-Wald and Monica Alba
On Friday, Bernie Sanders sued the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for a breach of contract. On Wednesday, it was discovered that Sanders' staffers were using a bug that allowed them to access data from Hilary Clinton's campaign. They were able to access this information for approximately 40 minutes. The Sanders' campaign claims that the DNC favors the Clinton campaign, and that the "DNC's move violates an agreement signed by the committee and the candidates on data usage, and says it is "hamstrung" without access to voter data."
This presidential campaign has been a crazy one so far, filled with twists in turns. The Republican party has caused much of the drama, however with this lawsuit, the Democratic party is now drawing some attention. It is hard to tell in this case what really happened. I would hope that Bernie Sanders was not behind the data breach. Also, I am curious as to what exactly this campaign was hoping to do with the acquired data. It will be interesting to see how this affects the upcoming Democratic debate.
