Calling Hillary Clinton a vessel for "corrupt" global establishment, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said the election of his Democratic rival would make the US a corrupt "Banana Republic" controlled by donors and foreign governments.
"The Hillary Clinton documents released by WikiLeaks make more clear than ever just how much is at stake in this election. This election will determine whether we remain a free country, or we become a corrupt Banana Republic controlled by large donors and foreign governments," Trump said at an election rally in Florida.
Wikileaks in the past three days has released several batches of emails, which it obtained by hacking into the Clinton Campaign or the servers of the Democratic National Committee.
The emails are being widely reported by the mainstream US media.
"The election of Hillary Clinton would lead to the destruction of our country," Trump said referring to some of the information that is coming out from these emails.
"Today we learned the Department of Justice fed information to the Clinton campaign about the e-mail investigation so that the campaign could be prepared to cover up her crimes. This is collusion and corruption of the highest order and is one more reason why I will ask my Attorney General to appoint a special prosecutor. We have to investigate the investigation," he said.
Hillary deleted 33,000 emails after a congressional subpoena - and then destroyed her phones with a hammer - all to cover up her crimes. People have gone to jail for doing far less. She also lost as much as USD 6 billion taxpayer dollars, he alleged.
"These Wikileaks emails confirm what those of us here today have known all along: Hillary Clinton is the vessel for a corrupt global establishment that is raiding our country and surrendering our sovereignty. This criminal government cartel doesn't recognise borders, but believes in global governance, unlimited immigration, and rule by corporations," Trump said.
He alleged, even Chelsea Clinton, the WikiLeaks emails show, expressed "serious concerns" about conflicts of interests at the Clinton Foundation and State Department.
"New emails revealed today show that during the deadly earthquake in Haiti, which killed over 150,000 people, the Clintons couldn't stop cashing in. As people were dying in Haiti, Clinton insiders were separating out requests from 'Friends of Bill' or 'William Jefferson Clinton VIPs' so that their business interests or contracts would receive special treatment. People who were labelled 'Not Friends of Bill' were placed on the sidelines," he said.
"Wikileaks also shows something I have been warning about for a very long time. The media is simply an extension of the Clinton Campaign. It's just one more way the system is rigged. Reporters who work for these outlets - like the Washington Post, or the New York Times - may think of themselves as journalists, but they are actually just cogs in a corporate political machine," he alleged
