The secret-leaking website DCLeaks went down on Wednesday evening, shortly after posting documents it says were obtained by hacking a key aide to Hillary Clinton at the State Department.
The files included emails from Capricia Penavic Marshall, whose 2009-13 tenure as chief of protocol at the department overlapped with Clinton's time as secretary of state. Documents had been grouped in categories such as "Clinton Foundation" and "Conversations with Clinton's team."
Marshall began working for Clinton as an assistant during Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign for the White House. The hacked emails, purportedly obtained from Marshall's personal Gmail account, ranged from March 2015 to June 2016.
DCLeaks crashed just hours after publishing the files, with attempts to access the site on Wednesday evening being met with a message informing users of an "error establishing a database connection."
The website has published emails and documents hacked from a range of public officials and political staffers this year. Those have included liberal billionaire George Soros, former secretary of state Colin Powell, staffers to Arizona Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and White House staffer Ian Mellul.
