Trump campaign reckons with alleged Iranian hack

Posted on August 11, 2024 by Dissent

Shelby Talcott and Ben Smith report:

Donald Trump’s campaign says it has been hacked, with some internal communications stolen and leaked to Politico over the last month.

The Trump campaign blamed Iran for the hack, and referred to a Microsoft report published Friday that hackers tied to the Iranian government had tried to break into the account of a “high-level” presidential campaign official.

“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to Semafor, noting recent reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate the former president. “The Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror, just like he did in his first four years in the White House. Any media or news outlet reprinting documents or internal communications are doing the bidding of America’s enemies and doing exactly what they want.”

Iran has rejected the campaign’s claims.
