U.S. Indicts Three Iranian Nationals for Hacking Trump's Campaign

The Justice Department charges members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard in a scheme to undermine the 2024 election by leaking stolen campaign materials.

Three Iranian operatives have been charged with hacking into Donald Trump's presidential campaign and stealing sensitive emails.
The hackers, linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, aimed to erode confidence in the U.S. electoral system and damage Trump's re-election efforts.
Stolen materials were sent to media organizations and individuals associated with President Joe Biden's campaign in a 'hack-and-leak' operation.
The U.S. government has issued sanctions and rewards for information leading to the capture of the accused hackers, who remain in Iran.
Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized the Justice Department's commitment to countering foreign interference in U.S. elections.
