Later reveals included controversial DNC–Clinton agreements dated before the primary, regarding financial arrangements and control over policy and hiring decisions. The leaks resulted in allegations of bias against Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, in apparent contradiction with the DNC leadership's publicly stated neutrality, as several DNC operatives openly derided Sanders' campaign and discussed ways to advance Hillary Clinton's nomination. These releases caused significant harm to the Clinton campaign, and have been cited as a potential contributing factor to her loss in the general election against Donald Trump. The emails and documents showed that the Democratic Party's national committee favoured Clinton over her rival Bernie Sanders in the primaries. On November 6, 2016, WikiLeaks released a second batch of DNC emails, adding 8,263 emails to its collection. The leak includes emails from seven key DNC staff members, and date from January 2015 to May 2016. This collection included 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the DNC, the governing body of the United States' Democratic Party.

These emails were subsequently leaked by DCLeaks in June and July 2016 and by WikiLeaks on July 22, 2016, just before the 2016 Democratic National Convention. The 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak is a collection of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails stolen by one or more hackers operating under the pseudonym ' Guccifer 2.0' who are alleged to be Russian intelligence agency hackers, according to indictments carried out by the Mueller investigation.
