DNC chair won't preside or speak at party convention after emails leaked

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not speak at or preside over the party's convention this week, CNN is reporting.

Democratic party officials made the decision after leaked emails suggested the party played favorites during the presidential primary.

Bernie Sanders says Schultz should resign immediately.

Hillary Clinton's campaign manager accuses Russia of leaking the emails on purpose from the Democratic National Committee to help Republican Donald Trump in the presidential election.

Robby Mook said it’s no coincidence the emails are coming out the week of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
