WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange warned Wednesday that Hillary Clinton will be the next target of an information leak. In an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, Assange said the impending leak could have "significant" implications for the presidential election, depending "on how it catches fire in the public and in the media."

"We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material," said Assange, who is in exile at Ecuador's embassy in London. He added: "It's a variety of different types of documents from different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining."
