Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta has been caught up in a whirlwind of controversy over his emails being obtained and dumped by WikiLeaks. Today one of the newly-leaked emails shows that he and others polled voters about then-Senator Barack Obama‘s Muslim ties in 2008.
You can click here for more from the Podesta email dump.
Podesta has claimed that WikiLeaks warned the Trump campaign in advance about these emails (Trump ally Roger Stone admitted to having ties to WikiLeaks), but today he decided on a more relaxed approach.
See, one of the emails includes Podesta’s recommendation about how to make a good risotto, which led to this today. See if you can spot the shade thrown at Julian Assange:
