​The previously published emails gave insight into the early stages of mapping out Clinton's presidential campaign strategy. The letters revealed, for example, that Clinton reversed her position on free trade agreements from enthusiastic support to strong opposition, as trade deals appeared to be a hot-button issue for many voters and one of the main talking points for Clinton's Democratic Party rival Senator Bernie Sanders and Republican candidate Donald Trump.

In July, WikiLeaks published nearly 20,000 hacked emails that apparently showed the Democratic National Committee (DNC) members discussing ways to undercut Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic nomination.
