Ned Price: WikiLeaks a ‘Veritable Arm of Russian Intelligence’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PRICE: "Well, Wolf, let me be clear up front I can’t vouch for the authenticity of these documents. Let’s also remember what this is and what this is not. This is the most recent attempt by, as I said before, a veritable arm of Russian intelligence to discredit America."
BLITZER: "WikiLeaks is an arm of Russian intelligence?"
PRICE: "We know from January 2017 intelligence report into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election that Wikileaks was acting as a cut out for Russian intelligence, specifically Russian military intelligence in this very operation. We know there are close ties between these organizations and reflected in their coverage. This is the latest attempt on the part of Wikileaks to discredit the United States."
