Following the Wikileaks-style initiative, Hillary Clinton ally David Brock has launched a new site which announces cash prizes in exchange for information about Donald Trump, according to NBC News.

The new site, Trump Leaks, has been established by Correct the Record, a well-funded super PAC founded by Brock. Aiming to accumulate as much information as possible, Brock has clarified that the material, in the form of unreleased videos and audios, or documents, should be legal.

"We're chasing everything," Brock told NBC.
However, Correct the Record has not declared how much they're willing to pay for the information.

"We're going to extraordinary lengths because this is an extraordinary situation," Brock was quoted as saying.

Brock justified his move saying media outlets were "unwilling to pay for scoops" for ethical reasons, hence they were not extracting enough crucial information, The Hill reports.

"I understand the prohibition on press paying for stories, but we're not the press," Brock said.

This is not the first time Brock has made such an announcement. Earlier in July, he got hold of an anonymous donor who promised to part with $5 million to a veteran's charity if Trump released his tax returns.
