Breaking: Sanders Manager Says DNC Has 'Stolen' Campaign Data

Weaver also made clear his belief that the DNC has been working to advance Hillary Clinton's campaign while making decisions that might scuttle the Sanders campaign, including the scheduling of Democratic debates at times, like this coming Saturday night, that make it less likely a large audience will be able or willing to watch.

NBC News today reports that "documents obtained and reviewed by NBC News appeared to show that at least four individuals affiliated with the Sanders campaign conducted searches and saved the Clinton campaign's lists of potential voters over a period of more than forty minutes."

The data breach "happened after a software error at the technology company NGP VAN, which provides campaigns with voter data."

DNC spokesman Luis Miranda said, "all users on the system across the Democratic campaigns were inadvertently able to access some data belonging to other campaigns for a brief window."

It is not known if the Clinton or O'Malley campaigns also inappropriately accessed data from their opponents.
