Democratic National Chairman Wasserman Schultz resigns after Wilileaks released damning emails which showed she favoured Hilary Clinton

The Democratic Party chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is resigning under pressure as a stunning leadership shakeup as party officials gather in Philadelphia to nominate Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee. Wasserman Schultz's announcement Sunday follows an outrage over hacked emails suggesting the Democratic National Committee favored Hilary Clinton during the primaries, even though she claimed she was neutral.
In a statement, Wasserman Schultz said she will step down at the end of the four-day convention which begins today. She said she plans to formally open and close the convention, as well as address delegates but didn't address the email scandal.

The leaked emails made the Democratic primary runner-up Bernie Sanders to call for Wasserman Schultz's immediate resignation.
