https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/bombshell-report-reveals-russians-altered-at-least-some-of-leaked-podesta-emails/Specifically, one source tells the AP that notorious Russian hacker Guccifer 2.0 airbrushed the word CONFIDENTIAL on top of a document that did not have that label in order to make it more immediately appealing to reporters. It is not known at this time whether Guccifer also altered the content of the Podesta emails to make them appear more scandalous than they really were.
Additionally, the APs source claims that the first document Guccifer 2.0 published on June 15 came not from the DNC as advertised but from Podestas inbox.
In addition to revelations about the alteration of documents, the APs report also reveals that Guccifer 2.0 specifically told some of its reporters that his goal was to sink Clintons campaign and to make Trump the president.
Together with Assange well make america great again, he wrote to one reporter.
