ABC News Online: US election Russian hacking report dismissed as 'press release' by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has denounced last week's US intelligence report on Russian hacking, calling it a politically motivated "press release" that provided no evidence that Russian actors gave the organisation hacked material.

In an online news conference, Mr Assange maintained that the report was vague and that US intelligence officials should be embarrassed by the 25-page, declassified document.

"This is a press release," Mr Assange said.

"It is clearly designed for political effects."
