“Our campaign months ago alerted the DNC to the fact that campaign data was being made available to other campaigns. At that time our campaign did not run to the media, relying instead on assurances from the vendor," Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs told ABC News. Democracy for America panned the DNC’s decision to suspend the Sanders campaign’s access to the data in a statement: "The DNC's decision to attack the campaign that figured out the problem, rather than go after the vendor that made the mistake, is profoundly damaging to the party's Democratic process,” Charles Chamberlain, the executive director for Democracy for America, said. “DNC leaders should immediately reverse this disturbing decision before the committee does even more to bring its neutrality in the race for President into question."
