WASINGTON: The Democratic Party filed a lawsuit Friday alleging that Russia, WikiLeaks and top officials from Donald Trump's campaign conspired to tilt the 2016 US presidential election in the Republican's favour.

The civil complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan by the Democratic National Committee alleges that Russia informed Trump's campaign that it had conducted a cyber attack on the DNC, leading to the release of information damaging to Trump's rival Hillary Clinton.
