​An email with de Blasio's tweet saying "I’ve always liked what i heard from Bernie Sanders [on income inequality]" was sent out by Battleground state communications person Ian Sams on June 10, 2015 to other Clinton's campaign members, including Podesta. Mook replied to the email sending a message, "Wow. What a terrorist."

De Blasio endorsed Clinton in late October 2015.

WikiLeaks published the first batch of Podesta's emails on October 8.
