WikiLeaks Posts Alleged Democratic Voicemails on Day Three of DNC

WikiLeaks posted 14 minutes of audio of what it claimed were hacked voicemail messages from top Democratic officials Wednesday, just before Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama were to address the Democratic National Convention.

NBC News hasn't authenticated the 29 files and isn't quoting from them. In general, they appear to mirror some of the more than 19,000 hacked Democratic National Committee email messages that have been published in the last week. Information in some of those messages led to the ouster of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The alleged voicemails add little new of particular note. But their publication appeared to have been timed to cause maximum embarrassment for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
