WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange addressed the US Green Party's national convention via video link in Houston, Texas, on Saturday. Among a number of topics, Assange discussed his organisation's leaking of the Democratic National Committee emails, which illustrated a dirty tricks campaign waged by the Democratic Party's bureaucracy against leftwing candidate Bernie Sanders, as well as the Obama administration's persecution of whistleblowers.

Hundreds protested outside the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Tuesday, after Hillary Clinton became the Democratic presidential nominee. Green Party candidate Jill Stein addressed the crowds, calling the Democrats "cowards," adding "they were sabotaging Bernie's campaign from the start, how this vote for Hillary tonight was taken to the future for a long, long time. They ensured that the game will be win to ensure that Hillary Clinton presides the nomination."
Jill Stein was the US Green Party's 2016 candidate for president. Business Insider reports that she owes the Federal Election Commission more than $66,000 in campaign finance violations. In 2016 Stein raised $7.3 million for a recount. In December 2016, Stein promised that her donors would get to vote on how to spend these surplus funds. That never happened. Instead, Stein spent millions on election-related litigation in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. She gave raises and "performance bonuses" to her core 2016 campaign staff. She spent $113,000 on her legal defense before the US Senate's Russia investigation.
