He added: “You can accurately describe this chapter of thecase as lies, lies and more lies.”
Mr Summers said WikiLeaks had begun redacting 250,000 leaked documents in November 2010, working with media partners around the world.
He added: “That process involved the US government and state department feeding suggested redactions to the media.
“Knowing the US government was involved in the redaction process, can it be in any way said the request represents a fair or accurate representation of what occurred?”
Mr Summers blamed the leaks on a 2011 book from The Guardian newspaper about WikiLeaks, which contained a 58-key password.
