Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) interim chair Donna Brazile said Sunday she has found "no evidence, none, whatsoever" that the 2016 Democratic primary process was "rigged" on Hillary Clinton's behalf, contra a recent assertion to that effect by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

"The only thing I found — which I said, I found the cancer, but I'm not killing the patient — was this memorandum that prevented the DNC from running its own operation," Brazile explained in an appearance on ABC News. She was referring to the revelation in an excerpt from her forthcoming book published this past week that the Clinton campaign took control of DNC funds months before Clinton clinched the nomination over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
