President Trump tweeted about the hacked emails of then-Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta approximately 15 minutes after WikiLeaks requested his son Donald Trump Jr. to, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal pointed out Monday, based on reporting from The Atlantic.

The Atlantic reported earlier Monday that Trump Jr. engaged in private correspondence with the transparency site during the 2016 campaign, and that WikiLeaks made multiple requests of him.
“Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us,â WikiLeaks wrote in a message to Trump Jr. on Oct. 12, 2016, including a link.
âThereâs many great stories the press are missing and weâre sure some of your follows [sic] will find it,â WikiLeaks continued. âBtw we just released Podesta Emails Part 4.â
Trump Jr. confirmed he turned over the messages in three separate tweets where he linked the back and forth exchange with WikiLeaks.
Here is the entire chain of messages with @wikileaks (with my whopping 3 responses) which one of the congressional committees has chosen to selectively leak. How ironic! 1/3 pic.twitter.com/SiwTqWtykA
