“I believe the emails were linked by the Remain side. Further driving a wedge between the US and the UK only serves their purposes.”
if that’s actually the case, then they miscalculated, because Trump-hating, USA-hating Jeremy Hunt stood up for the UK’s Trump-hating U.S. ambassador who subsequently got run out, thus most likely boosting the chances of pro-USA, pro-Trump Boris Johnson ...
The emails served their purpose flushing out Mr. Hunt as anti-Trump and a Europhile and making Boris look good, the guy Trump likes.
A real Brexit will bring the UK into the USA’s orbit and take it away from Germany and Company also called the European Union.
