1/ Trump and Trump Jr. received an email with the decryption key needed to open the hacked DNC documents that WikiLeak had posted two months earlier. The September 4th email came the same day that Trump Jr. first tweeted about WikiLeaks and Hillary Clinton, and one month before WikiLeaks began leaking the contents of John Podesta's hacked emails.
