and prompted the committee's chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman
Schultz, to step down.
"I don’t want to give the game away, but it’s a variety of
documents, from different types of institutions that are
associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected
angles, some quite interesting, some even entertaining," Assange
said when asked how the next revelations would compare with

2010, the organization published classified U.S. military and
diplomatic documents in one of the largest information leaks in
U.S. history.
