Julian Assange says Trump 'won't be allowed to win' as he accuses Clinton donors of backing the rise of ISIS
- Julian Assange claimed Washington elites want Hillary Clinton to win
- He said the media, arms industry and foreign money all want her to win
- Assange gave a television interview from inside the Ecuadorian embassy
- Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed next week's election is 'rigged'
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has claimed Donald Trump 'won't be allowed to win' next week's election during an interview to be broadcast on a pro-Kremlin TV station.
The Australian computer hacker was speaking from inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he also accused Hillary Clinton of receiving donations from the same people funding ISIS.
Assange said he was basing his claims on emails released last month by WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, pictured, claims next week's presidential election is fixed
He told veteran journalist John Pilger, pictured, the entire US establishment is backing Clinton
Speaking
to Australian journalist John Pilger for Dartmouth Films, Assange
claimed one of the leaked documents between showed a message sent by the
then Secretary of State to John Podesta, who was an adviser to
President Barack Obama.
Assange
said the email urged Obama to 'bring pressure' on the governments of
Saudi Arabia and Qatar, 'which are providing clandestine financial and
logistic support to ISIL [ISIS] and other radical Sunni groups'.

He described the email as the 'most important' in the entire collection.
He
claimed: 'All serious analysts know, and even the US government has
agreed, that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIS and funding
ISIS, but the dodge has always been that it is some “rogue” princes
using their oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the
government disapproves. But that email says that it is the government of
Saudi Arabia, and the government of Qatar that have been funding
ISIS.'
Clinton has also been criticized over claims that the Clinton Foundation receives funding from Saudi and Qatari sources.

Assange claimed Donald Trump,

would prefer an insider like Hillary Clinton inside the White House
Assange claimed big business, the banks and intelligence agencies are all behind Clinton
Later in the 25-minute interview, which will be broadcast on Russia Today, Assange claims next Tuesday's presidential election has been fixed in favour of Hillary Clinton.
He
added: 'My analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do
I say that? Because he has had every establishment off his side. Trump
does not have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the
Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment. Banks,
intelligence, arms companies, foreign money, etc. are all united behind
Hillary Clinton. And the media as well. Media owners, and the
journalists themselves.'
Donald
Trump has repeatedly said Tuesday's presidential election may be
rigged, while providing scant evidence, and has urged supporters to keep
an eye out for signs of voting fraud in Philadelphia and other heavily
Democratic areas.
Democrats
worry that could encourage Trump supporters to harass minority voters
in a state that could determine whether Trump or his Democratic
opponent, Hillary Clinton, wins the presidency. Voting-rights advocates
said they are already receiving reports of harassment.
Democrats
have launched a legal blitz of their own in an attempt to shut down
Trump's poll-watching efforts in Pennsylvania and three other
battleground states, arguing in lawsuits that Republican monitoring
efforts amount to 'vigilante voter intimidation' that violates federal
law.
Assange
earlier denied he was a stooge for the Russian intelligence services,
claiming they were not behind the damaging leaks to the Clinton
campaign.
He has been wanted by Swedish authorities since 2010 over rape allegations.
He has been hiding the the Ecuadorian embassy in London over fears he will be extradited to the United States.
He said: 'The Clinton camp has been able to project a neo-McCarthyist hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything.
'Hillary
Clinton has stated multiple times, falsely, that 17 US intelligence
agencies had assessed that Russia was the source of our publications.
That's false – we can say that the Russian government is not the
source.'
The
first tranche of emails published by WikiLeaks claimed the Democratic
party leadership actively favored Clinton over her rival for the
nomination Bernie Sanders.
The
Department of Homeland Security Department and the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence said last month they were 'confident'
the Russian government was responsible for the leaks.
But Russia has denied this and presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said it was 'nonsense'.
In
an interview with veteran John Pilger on RT, Assange said: 'We have
independently authenticated the emails. WikiLeaks has a decade-long,
perfect record in the accurate authentication of leaked documents.'
