We have always come out and supported the climate champion,” Steyer said of the eventual Democratic nominee. “The idea that for some reason we wouldn’t do that, I’d have to understand why in hell we didn’t. Because that has been our practice always.”

Sanders appears to have opened up a lead in the early-voting state of New Hampshire, while Clinton is battling the senator in Iowa ahead of the caucuses there Feb. 1.

Steyer, who has raised money for Clinton’s campaign and has sought to put a focus on climate change in the Democratic primary, told Reuters that he didn’t think Clinton has “fully fleshed out everything she has to say about energy and climate.”

“You advocated for that 2011 intervention and called it smart power at its best. Even President Obama said the U.S. should done more to fill the leadership vacuum left behind. How much responsibility do you bear for the chaos that followed elections?” Raddatz asked the leading Democratic presidential hopeful.

In an an interview with CNN’s “Wolf” immediately after the Sanders campaign’s press conference, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz denied that Sanders’ voter information had been compromised two months ago, as Weaver claimed.
She brushed aside the threat of legal action. “The Sanders campaign doesn’t have anything other than bluster to put out there,” she said on CNN.

“We are following the agreement that both parties entered into…I’m confident that this is the decision that they would expect from us and it’s the same decision that we would make if the shoe was on the other foot.”
