WikiLeaks Says Assange Was Joking, Isn’t Trying to Hack Trump’s Tax Returns

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange raised a few eyebrows on Friday night when he told Bill Maher that the organization was “working on” obtaining Donald Trump’s tax returns. It came at the end of a contentious interview about the Democratic National Committee leaks in which Maher pointed out that WikiLeaks hadn’t released anything from the Trump campaign. “Why don’t you hack into Donald Trump’s tax returns?” Maher asked. “Well, we’re working on it,” Assange replied.
On Saturday morning, WikiLeaks wrote on Twitter to ensure everyone knew Assange was joking:
WikiLeaks ✔ @wikileaks
