Assange worked with the Trump campaign to selectively release information that would harm the Clinton campaign but not Trump's. He doesn't deserve your sympathy.

A quick google showed completely opposite results. Can you name a source?

It's been a while and I misremembered some of the details, it was through through the Russians (who were de facto on the Trump campaign):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guccifer_2.0#Communications_with_WikiLeaks

A week after Guccifer 2.0 appeared online, WikiLeaks sent the persona a message saying to "send any new material here for us to review and it will have a much higher impact than what you are doing." After not receiving a reply, on July 6, 2016 WikiLeaks sent another message that said "if you have anything hillary related we want it in the next tweo [sic] days prefable [sic] because the DNC is approaching and she will solidify bernie supporters behind her after." Guccifer 2.0 responded "ok ... i see," and WikiLeaks added "we think trump has only a 25% chance of winning against hillary ... so conflict between bernie and hillary is interesting." On July 14, 2016 Guccifer 2.0 sent WikiLeaks an email with an encrypted attachment labeled "wk dnc link1.txt.gpg." According to the indictment, the email explained that "the encrypted file contained instructions on how to access an online archive of stolen DNC documents."
Four days later, WikiLeaks responded that it had received "the 1Gb or so archive" and would release the files that week. The DNC emails were released several days later.

Hardly an unbiased source, WikiLeaks was targeting Clinton for the benefit of Trump.

Trump reportedly offered to pardon Assange if he denied the connection:
