In a shocking twist, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's internet was apparently severed early this morning by a "state party" according to the media outlet's own Twitter account.

The WikiLeaks Twitter account sent out three "pre-commitment" tweets with codes in them last night, before alerting followers that Assange's internet was cut off in a fourth tweet, claiming that it had been cut intentionally by a state party.

Since the announcement his internet was cut off, there have been numerous theories which have been put out online by conspiracy theorists, many of whom believe the internet was severed by Hillary Clinton's campaign, in an effort to silence them from leaking State Department and Classified emails she sent on a private server as Secretary of State, something that they threatened to potentially do in the final weeks leading up to the Election.


Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK for four years, after he was granted asylum there in August 2012 following allegations that he raped and molester two women in Sweden. He has managed to avoid extradition there since, though Time reports he was going to be interviewed by Swedish prosecutors at the embassy today. Many also took to Twitter after the news of his internet being cut off to also criticize him for the allegations he himself faces, and blasted him got supporting Donald Trump and trying to rig the election in his favor.

Assange has previously claimed he would release information about Clinton ahead of the Election but not as much about Trump, because according to Assange, Trump does not use email, and doesn't have classified documents to reveal because he has never been in government before.

"We have information that touches on the Republican party's campaign," Assange said last month. "In assessing that information, we will publish it, of course. But, Donald Trump, you know...doesn't have a history of being in government."

Trump's campaign has instead dealt with several claims by women in the last week that he sexually assaulted them or exhibited inappropriate behavior around them for decades, claims which all surfaced after a tape of Trump saying he could grab women "by the P***y" and get away with it because he was "famous" leaked.

Trump has vehemently denied that any of the claims have been true, and accused Clinton and the media of rigging the election with the stories.
