WikiLeaks Leaked More Emails From the Clinton Campaign; Conjoined Twins Go Into Surgery Today.
COSTELLO: All right, WikiLeaks are releasing more stolen documents yesterday; just about 1000 pages. The Clinton campaign is now fighting back. Let's head to Washington and check in with Joe Johns. Hi Joe.</s>JOE JOHNS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: What appears to be a new installment of these stolen emails, just boasted by WikiLeaks within the last hour. Following the previous pattern, apparently more emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. And just reading through the first of them, like the others, they appear to be more of the inner workings of the campaign, including day-to-day communications. Our team is just getting started looking through them and we'll be back to you when we know more about them. Of course, I think the significant thing you can say about these emails is the critics of Hillary Clinton, the opponents of Hillary Clinton are asking the public to look at the content of the messages. The Hillary Clinton campaign is asking the public to look at the fact that these emails were stolen from the campaign and there may be some collusion with Russia and they accuse the Trump campaign of essentially being in cahoots with a foreign government to try to destabilize the election. So we'll have more when we find out what's in the latest installment, Carol. Thank you.</s>COSTELLO: So the Clinton camp is fighting back by saying, you know, Russia is behind this. It's working in concert with WikiLeaks and that somebody very close to the Trump campaign is working with WikiLeaks.</s>JOHNS: Well that's true. And the Clinton campaign has alleged that Roger Stone, who is a close ally of Donald Trump, has actually been in contact with WikiLeaks. He has said on the record that he has a back channel connection to WikiLeaks, but he's also denied that he knew anything about the release of these emails in advance. So there's some of this and some of that. The bottom line, though, is the Clinton campaign is trying to push the notion that the Trump campaign is somehow involved in all of this with Russia as an intermediate.</s>COSTELLO: All right, Joe Johns reporting live for us from Washington this morning, thank you. Right now, surgeons in New York City are hoping to pull off a miracle; separating a pair of twins who are conjoined at the head. Meet Jadon and Anais, the McDonald twins. CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta has been given exclusive access to the remarkable and rare journey. Their condition only occurs in one out of every 2.5 million births and very soon, if it hasn't happened already, the boys will begin what's expected to be a 20-hour surgery to separate their shared brain tissue. Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins me now on what is likely to be a remarkable day. Hi Sanjay.</s>DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Carol, it is a remarkable day and I've got to tell you this is one of the perks of the job, right? Just next door is where this operation is happening. Very few people get to see this. Very few neurosurgeons get to see something like this, because, you mentioned, it is so rare. Dr. James Goodrich is the lead surgeon next door, and he's widely considered one of the leading craniopagus neurosurgeons in the world. And what craniopagus means, as you mentioned, Carol, are twins who are conjoined, connected at the head. I'm just going to lean over and pull up this model here for a second. I want to show you something, Carol. They actually - it's amazing the technology nowadays, when you look at what is possible even before the operation starts. This is a lacquered model of the boys' heads and the blood vessels inside that are so critical. I'm going to show you just a little bit inside here. If you take a look, these are the blood vessels that are going to be so critical in terms of actually making this operation successful. So this is the challenge. When you talked about up to a 20-hour operation, this is really what that entails. But Carol, also as you mentioned, look it's the parents who have had to go through some remarkable decision making and thinking about this and trying to figure out how to put this all together. Take a listen.</s>NICOLE MCDONALD, MOTHER OF TWINS CONJOINED AT THE HEAD: They're perfect. They are so funny and they're...</s>CHRISTIAN MCDONALD, FATHER OF TWINS CONJOINED AT THE HEAD: Happy.</s>NICOLE: They're happy, you know, they play.</s>CHRISTIAN: They're crazy.</s>NICOLE: They're crazy. He's really there are the brunt of the burden, I would say. He's got breathing issues and feeding issues and he has some vision issues and in the beginning his hearing was off. And he's gone through heart failure. He's had seizures.</s>GUPTA: You know as Jadon and Anais, the twin boys, born September of last year, they found out on a routine ultrasound, Carol, that the boys -first they found that they were twins, and then they were in fact conjoined, and then it's been a whirlwind. This family from a small town in Illinois, now moved here to the Bronx to seek out Dr. Goodrich and to undergo what, as I mentioned, is happening next door.</s>COSTELLO: I can't wait to see the results and what an amazing story. And thank you so much for the inside look, Dr. Gupta, always appreciated. We'll be right back.
