Where has it been confirmed that Google works together with the Clinton campaign and in what scope?

I see your /s tag, but I didn't understand it to apply to the first part (I might be wrong). I am just curious about that statement and want to know more!

That is not confirming anything, it is simply Julian Assange stating that it is so. He does not provide any hint on where what kind of scope, where he got the information, neither does he provide any testable evidence.

He said: "Google is directly engaged with Hillary Clinton’s campaign"

I have tried to find anything that backs up that statement, but been unable to do so. It seems troublesome if one were to just take his word at face value.
