Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump a “national disgrace and an international pariah” in a June email that was leaked on Tuesday.
The hacker group D.C. Leaks disclosed some of Powell’s emails and BuzzFeed first reported the details.
A spokesman for Powell confirmed his email had been hacked, but he had “no idea who did it and no further comment at this time,” according to CBS News. The Wall Street Journal reported in August some computer experts and Democrats in Congress believe the site may have Russian ties.
The leak shows that Powell criticized Trump’s lack of outreach to black voters, saying “there is nothing he can say” to convince black Americans to give him their votes, and criticizing the birther movement.
“He takes us for idiots,” Powell wrote, according to CBS. “He can never overcome what he tried to do to Obama with his search for the birth certificate ... the whole birther movement was racist.”
