The Democratic National Committee [DNC] is essentially the leadership of the Democrat Party [DP].
Throughout the DP primary process Senator Sanders complained that the DNC was undermining his campaign and showing bias in favor of Mrs. Clinton. The DNC denied these charges, and said they supported a fair primary process with equal opportunity for both, or any, candidates.
Wikileaks is an international, non-profit, journalistic organization based in Iceland, that publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified media from anonymous sources. This week Wikileaks released a significant quantity of internal DNC communications which indicate, many would say "prove", that the DNC leadership was, indeed, conspiring to deny Senator Sanders the nomination.
Bottom Line:
The DNC lied to the public and especially Democrat voters about their neutrality. And some folks, like f'rinstance Senator Sanders' supporters, are upset about the perceived unfair treatment of the Senator.
n.b. The DNC is within the Democrat Party. One can reasonably expect the DNC to conduct itself in such a manner as to support candidates which it deems most likely to improve the future of the DP. Apparently that resulted in throwing party leadership support to Mrs. Clinton and doing what it could to deny Senator Sanders the Presidential candidacy.
The DNC is under no obligation to tell Senator Sanders the truth; in fact, he called himself a Socialist before initiating his Presidential run as a Democrat.
The DNC is under no obligation to tell Democrat voters the truth.
There is nothing illegal about any of this. That the aim of denying Senator Sanders the nomination required secretive communications and underhanded methods and lying about it is not illegal.
Nonetheless, some people are upset, . . . most notably Senator Sanders supporters.

NEWSFLASH:
The Chairwoman of the DNC, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Sunday she is stepping down as chairwoman of the DNC at the end of the party's convention this week.
Of course she is; her job is done.
