WASHINGTON: WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange said his organisation planned to release "significant" information linked to the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton before the Nov 8 election. 

Asked if the data could be a game-changer in the election, the Australian told Fox News in an interview conducted by satellite: "I think it’s significant. You know, it depends on how it catches fire in the public and in the media.”
