    “At least three news outlets were leaked confidential material from inside the Donald Trump campaign […] So far, each has refused to reveal any details about what they received.”

    I kind of got the impression that AP was indicating they wouldn’t keep silent (after verifying the materials).

    The discussion in the comments here is illuminating, though. I knew Wikileaks was a Russian mouthpiece, but I didn’t realize the website offered cover for reporting of other news agencies, so they could avoid legal liability for releasing things.
    Would not be surprised if a random site spun up somewhere with these documents on them soon.
