A stolen email leaked by WikiLeaks shows that Apple CEO Tim Cook was on a short list for vice president.

John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, sent an email in March discussing a “first cut of people to consider for VP,” Gizmodo spotted on Tuesday.

“Cheryl, Robby, Jake, Huma, Jennifer and I also did a first cut of people to consider for VP. I have organized names in rough food groups,” Podesta wrote.

The “food group” of business leaders included Cook along with both Bill and Melinda Gates and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York.

The Clinton campaign planned a meeting with Cook, who is CEO of the world’s most valuable company, in June 2015, but a staffer said the meeting was “one we should proceed cautiously.”

Cook is "supportive but new to this so I think we shouldn't come on too strong," a staffer wrote. The meeting was about fundraising, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Cook eventually hosted a fundraiser for Clinton in August of this year. It's unknown whether Cook is a Republican or a Democrat, though he has taken public stances on issues such as gay rights and climate change that more closely align with those of the Democratic Party.

But Cook has also hosted a fundraiser for Paul Ryan, the current Republican speaker of the House.

Apple declined to comment. The Clinton campaign ultimately selected Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia to serve on the ticket for this year's election.
