Writer for outlet that got Trump leaks rips 'baffling' decision to not publish them

Raw Story  

Earlier this week, at least three news outlets — the New York Times, the Washington Post and Politico — all received leaked internal documents from former President Donald Trump's campaign. Caputo noted that the leaked information appears to involve vetting documents for Sen.

He suggested that there is inherent news value in exploring whether Vance's controversial "childless cat ladies" comment was regarded as potentially damaging to Trump's chances of winning back the White House. "he file would give us clear insights into what the Trump campaign believes are political liabilities and ideological third rails in this modern campaign climate," he wrote.
