The Democratic National Committee held an off-record meeting with the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal in April, according to DNC emails released by WikiLeaks today.

A leaked email featured a schedule of numerous meetings with the media that were scheduled to take place during the week, and also included off-record meetings with Buzzfeed and Bloomberg.

The email was sent by Democrat National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach to DNC staffer Kate Houghton on the 29th April, and the meetings were scheduled to take place in New York City:

Tuesday
6:30am-7:45am (tentative) Network Morning Show
10am (tentative) MSNBC / Meeting with Mika Brzezinski and Phil Griffin
12pm Off-the-Record Lunch Meeting with the Wall Street Journal Editors
Glenn Hall, National Editor; Tim Layer, Deputy National Editor; Chuck Hawkins, Political Editor; and, Sheila Courter, Election Editor

Another email shows Communications Director Luis Miranda leaking a PDF of a letter from the Sanders campaign to a WSJ reporter.

The DNC is rotten to the core. You couldn't trust them to sit your dog for the weekend, let alone run this country. SHUT 'EM OUT IN NOVEMBER.

VOTE DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. This is a vote for reason, sanity, common sense, our national best interest, the best interest of our citizens, workers and taxpayers. There is no other choice. Trump is the only candidate who gets it, who can fix it, and who wants to fix it, and has wanted to do so for 30 years. Give him the chance. He has earned it, deserves it and most importantly, we need him, he is our last hope to save this country we all love and cherish.
