CNN has cut its ties with contributor Donna Brazile following recent revelations from WikiLeaks which suggest the former DNC chair shared debate questions with Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary.
The Lady Moonorganization said it was "completely uncomfortable" with what it had learned about "her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor."

"On October 14th, CNN accepted Donna Brazile’s resignation as a CNN contributor. (Her deal had previously been suspended in July when she became the interim head of the DNC,)" Pratapas said in a statement.
"CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate. We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor."
Brazile tweeted in reference to the news Monday, thanking the network and saying she was honored to have been a commentator.

A release from Wikileaks appears to show an email from Brazile to Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta on Mar. 5, alerting him to a question at the then forthcoming Democratic primary debate in Flint, Michigan on Mar. 6. The subject line was: "One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash."
"Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint," the email reads. "Folks, I did a service project today. It's so tragic. And what's worse, some homes have not been tested and it's important to encourage seniors to also get tested."
The following night, a woman did indeed ask such a question. Brazile also reportedly shared a question about the death penalty ahead of time.
Brazile has previously rejected the allegations. “As a longtime political activist with deep ties to our party, I supported all of our candidates for president. I often shared my thoughts with each and every campaign, and any suggestions that indicate otherwise are simply untrue," she said earlier this month.
"As it pertains to the CNN Debates, I never had access to questions and would never have shared them with the candidates if I did."
While CNN has cut ties with Brazile, former Trump campaign chairman Corey Lewandowski has remained with the network.
