Julian Assange is speaking out in a new interview reflecting on Wikileaks’ role in the U.S. election.

Assange spoke with La Repubblica and immediately dismissed the idea that he was in the business of helping Donald Trump. And he has this assessment of how Trump’s team is beginning to form:

“Donald Trump is not a DC insider, he is part of the wealthy ruling elite of the United States, and he is gathering around him a spectrum of other rich people and several idiosyncratic personalities. They do not by themselves form an existing structure, so it is a weak structure which is displacing and destabilising the pre-existing central power network within DC. It is a new patronage structure which will evolve rapidly, but at the moment its looseness means there are opportunities for change in the United States: change for the worse and change for the better.”

As for Hillary Clinton, Assange is far more critical. He claims, “It is clear that she pursued this war in Libya as a staging effort for her Presidential bid.”
