On Friday, WikiLeaks began releasing the thousands of  Podesta's personal emails after being hacked. FBI is investigating the Russia's  possible role in this hacking incident. However, Russian government denied any role.
Podesta told reporters that he is trying his best to help the investigators in  finding the hackers. And he alleged that Russia has great interest if Trump  becomes President.
He also  alleged that Roger Stone, longtime Trump advisor, has admitted he has been in contact with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
In August,  Stone tweeted that WikiLeaks would attack Clinton and Podesta.
While Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has denied any kind of link with the hackers. During an interview with CNN in Moscow, “Lavrov dismissed the claims as "ridiculous" and added, "It's flattering, of course, to get this kind of attention."
Podesta said “the investigation is part of a wider FBI probe into the hacking of Democratic Party emails in which Russia is suspected.”
