Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is fundraising to help defeat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the embattled former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman.

Sanders, a former presidential contender, on Tuesday emailed his supporters to ask them to donate to Tim Canova, the law professor who is working to unseat Wasserman Schultz in an Aug. 30 primary.

In the email, Sanders hammered Wasserman Schultz over leaked DNC emails that showed officials plotting to undermine his campaign against Hillary Clinton, who is now the party's nominee. The fallout from the email leak led to the resignation of Wasserman Schultz and other top figures.

"The recent emails leaked from Democratic Party staff showed that under Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC staff were not exactly fair and even-minded during the presidential primary," Sanders wrote.
