Bernie Sanders apologized to Hillary Clinton in the third Democratic debate hosted by ABC News after his staffers accessed Clinton's voter data.
"Yes, I apologize," he said when asked whether Clinton was owed an apology. "Not only do I apologize, I want to apologize to my supporters. This is not the kind of campaign that we run. If I find anybody else involved in this, they will be fired."
Sanders’ remarks come after a bug in the firewall of the Democratic Party’s voter data software allowed four Sanders staffers to access files belonging to the Clinton campaign. One Sanders staffer was fired after the incident came to light late Thursday night.
In response, top Democrats suspended Sanders’ access to the party’s massive database, including its own data, prompting the Bernie Sanders 2016 to sue the Democratic National Committee in U.S. federal district court.
Early Saturday morning, the DNC restored the Sanders team’s access to its data, but the lawsuit is still on the books and investigations are ongoing.
Clinton staff had called the actions an “egregious breach of data and ethics,” but the Sanders campaign has accused the DNC of being in cahoots with Clinton.
