In a statement released Tuesday, WikiLeaks announced that it is offering a crowd-sourced $100,000 reward for the "missing chapters" of President Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal.
A video posted to WikiLeaks' YouTube channel features top Democrats speaking out against the trade deal. According to its opponents, the deal would offer incentives for big businesses, while harming American workers.
"The transparency clock has run out on the TPP. No more secrecy. No more excuses," WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a statement. "Let's open the TPP once and for all."
