DNC restores Bernie Sanders' access to voter data

The Democratic National Committee restored voter data access to Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign late Friday night, The Hill reports.

The campaign "complied with the DNC's request to provide the information that we have requested of them," DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement released just after midnight.

Meanwhile, the Sanders campaign credited the agreement to the lawsuit filed against the committee hours earlier. The Vermont senator's crew had been suspended from the database after several staffers accessed Hillary Clinton's private campaign data Wednesday.
