Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and others in the Trump organization were offered a website address and decryption key for hacked WikiLeaks documents during the 2016 presidential election, according to a news report.
The email, sent in September 2016, was provided to CNN by congressional investigators. It was purportedly sent by someone listed as "Mike Erickson."
Investigators are reportedly looking into the legitimacy of the email, which was among the documents provided to Congress by the Trump Organization. According to CNN, it remains unclear who the actual sender of the email is.
Trump Jr.'s attorney, Alan Futerfas, told CNN that he did not know who Mike Erickson is.
"We have no idea who he is," Futerfas said. "We never responded to the email."
The email was sent to Trump, Trump Jr. and others two months after the Democratic National Committee's hacked emails were released on WikiLeaks. It also came a month before Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's emails were leaked.
Trump Jr. has previously released messages he exchanged with WikiLeaks, the antisecrecy website that promises to advocate for transparency by publishing leaked and secret material, during the 2016 campaign.
The revelation of the latest email comes the same week that House lawmakers demanded answers from Trump Jr. as part of their ongoing probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
