'Looks like a coverup': Reporter rips media outlets for sitting on hacked Trump materials

Raw Story  

The opposition research dossier compiled by Donald Trump's campaign on J.D. "Vance’s infamous 'childless cat ladies' comment was not listed among the liabilities that the Trump campaign assessed about the then-prospective running mate," Caputo wrote. "As to why the Trump campaign’s researchers didn’t include that the cat lady remarks, aides aren’t saying," he added. "Vance comes across as a right-leaning classical liberal who became a Trump era conservative populist," Caputo wrote. "It’s also unclear why the mainstream media outlets that were first given the document two months ago didn’t report on its omission of the cat lady comment — or on the dossier in general," Caputo wrote.
