The controversy surrounding the release of several emails from top DNC officials has created an uproar in the Democratic Party ahead of the opening night of its convention where it will officially nominate Hillary Clinton as the party nominee for the 2016 election.

The emails, which were released by WikiLeaks, included several which contained either shocking or dangerous information, which has lead to the head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigning from her post at the end of the convention.

Here are five of the biggest revelations to come from the emails:

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Sent Checks To The DNC

A staffer within Clinton's campaign sent checks to the Democratic National Committee that were to be counted towards the convention fund, which, while it is unclear if the transactions were legal or not, did appear to not be entirely on the right side of things since an email from the DNC staffer to the Clinton one told him to "never send such an email again."

Using her private email, Wasserman Schultz responded to Bernie Sanders' claims he wouldn't appoint her to continue as DNC head if he was elected by simply saying it was "silly" for him to think he would ever get that far in the race.

There Were Plans In Place To Sabotage The Sanders Campaign

There were plans during the primaries to sabotage the Sanders campaign by putting out the message that he was an Atheist, specifically during the Kentucky and West Virginia races, which could have helped Clinton cinch those states easier if voters believed that Sanders didn't believe in God. Clinton wound up narrowly beating Sanders in Kentucky, while Sanders defeated her much more soundly in West Virginia.
