A trove of hacked emails released on the website DCLeaks.com continues to reveal statements made by former Secretary of State Colin Powell. In addition to a June 17 email in which he called Donald Trump a “national disgrace” and an “international pariah,” Powell also attacked Trump in an email on August 21 for being one of the leaders of the “racist” “birther” movement, which falsely claims President Obama wasn’t born in the United States. In another email, Powell also called Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz “idiots,” writing, “They are idiots and spent force peddling a book that ain’t going nowhere.” The email was a reference to the Cheneys’ book “Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America.”
