Trump declares Wikileaks Operation 'completely legal'

President Donald Trump said the Wikileaks operation was a completely legitimate operation, inherently protected by the First Amendment

Lawyers in the Trump Campaign in 2016 claimed that Wikileaks was stripped of responsibility because they leaked documents that revealed the concern of "media and public issues."

This is the result of a lawsuit filed against the Donald Trump campaign on behalf of two democratic donors who claim to have been personally damaged by the leak of data released by Wikileaks. As the public is known, federal authorities are currently investigating the possibility of "reaching out to Russia", as the mainstream media publish.

According to the lawsuit, the leak also revealed personal information that has nothing to do with the Hillary Clinton campaign.

It is important to note that, according to the Donald Trump Campaign, this was a case involving the release of emails, and did not deal with a political campaign. Furthermore, the president of the legal team claims that Wikileaks is the only platform on which a third party comes to the published content.

The Russians have repeatedly denied involvement in the presidential election in the United States in 2016. The US Justice Minister has begun investigating the founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange and his platform in 2010.

Today, members of the Trump administration, such as CIA head Mike Pompeo, openly criticize Assange's organization, even stating that it should be closed.

Trump lawyers argue that WikiLeaks is protected by the Law on Communication. To be more precise, the federal court qualifies the immunity under article 230, as the president's lawyers claim. Obviously, the federal court will determine whether WikiLeaks is qualified or not.

"According to Section 230 of the Communications Powers Act (47 U.S.C., § 230), an internet site that provides a third party service and can publish data is not responsible for published third party information. Klayman v. Zuckerberg, 753 F.3d 1354, 1358 (D.C. Cir 2014). This is so even when the website publishes "editorial functions" "such as deciding whether to publish." Id. to 1359. Since WikiLeaks secured the release (unnamed sources) of third-party content (hacked emails), it can not be held responsible for publication. "

Julian Assange has already announced on Twitter that the public will know what he thinks, but what is even more interesting is the fact that Mr. Donald Trump himself has quite openly praised the website for publishing the Democratic Party's e-mails, Hillary Clinton, although some members of his administration did not agree with that. The Democratic Party scandal is in its final stages. The lawsuit was raised in July this year, so it remains to see how this whole saga will end.
