ENGLAND, United Kingdom (Reuters) — WikiLeaks released files on Wednesday (July 27) of what it said were audio recordings pulled from the emails of the Democratic National Committee that were obtained by hacking its servers.

The latest release, which came in the middle of the Democratic National Convention where Hillary Clinton was officially named the party’s presidential nominee, is the second batch in a series that has deeply rattled the party and prompted the organization’s chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to step down.

WikiLeaks was founded by Julian Assange, a computer hacker who enraged the United States by publishing hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic cables. He has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since June 2012 to avoid a rape investigation in Sweden.
