democratic presidential hopeful bernie sanders takes the democratic national committee to court. fox's mike emanuel shows us why the vermont senator claims the party is showing favoritism to rival hillary clinton. vermont senator bernie sanders' campaign is fighting back threatening to take the democratic national committee to court. the d-n-c accused the sanders campaign of improperly accessing confidential voter information gathered by rival hillary clinton's campaign. campaign manager jeff weaver came out swinging claiming party leadership is actively favoring clinton. weaver says: "the individual leaders of dnc can support hillary clinton in any way they want if the dnc continues to hold our data hostage and

attack the heart and soul of our grassroots campaign, we'll be in federal court this afternoon seeking immediate relief." the sanders campaign fired josh uretsky - its national data director, and is blaming the vendor the dnc uses ngp van for dropping its firewall between the candidates' data. the sanders campaign has been suspended from accessing the system -- including its own information. weaver says: "information which is the lifeblood of this campaign we need our data which has been stolen by the dnc. the dnc chair strongly denied the charge of favoritism. wasserman-schultz says: "i can be quite certain that if the shoe were on the other foot, and the clinton campaign had inappropriately accessed sanders' campaign proprietary information, i am confident that is the decision they would expect from and it is the same decision that we would make." clinton campaign press secretary brian fallon said the data was breached "by sanders campaign staff in 25 searches by four different
