FBI Reveals Iranian Attempt to Meddle in U.S. Election by Hacking Trump Campaign

Iranian operatives sent stolen Trump campaign materials to individuals linked to Biden's team, but no evidence shows Democrats used the information.

  • The FBI disclosed that Iranian hackers targeted the Trump campaign and attempted to share stolen materials with individuals associated with Biden's campaign.
  • Emails containing the stolen materials were sent in late June and early July, but there is no indication that the recipients responded or used the information.
  • Iran's actions are part of a broader effort to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral process, similar to previous interference attempts by Russia.
  • Despite Trump's claims, there is no evidence that the Harris campaign engaged with or benefited from the hacked materials.
  • U.S. intelligence officials continue to monitor and address foreign interference threats from Iran, Russia, and China as the election approaches.
