This is incorrect. The June 12, 2016 interview with @Peston was 2 days before the DNC hack was reported. Assange was asked if he had any of Clinton's own emails from her private server and replied, cryptically: “We have emails relating to Hillary Clinton." https://youtu.be/__HRN6eot18 https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1100813515718316033 …

But it is misleading to suggest that anyone knew what Assange had in June, and that it was "old news" by July, which is what Massie claimed. ITV's own report on the interview also shows it was widely assumed that June that Assange had said he had her email https://www.itv.com/news/2016-06-12/julian-assange-wikileaks-plans-to-release-more-private-emails-sent-by-hillary-clinton/ …pic.twitter.com/tSVTcA0Ai3

It's generally better to go based on what Assange actually said than on second-hand characterizations. Assange's quote in June 2016 is confirmation that he publicly announced forthcoming publications of emails related to Hillary Clinton.
