FBI, ODNI, CISA: Iranian Hackers Sent Stolen Trump Info to Biden Campaign

Sep 19, 2024, 06:19 PM

The FBI, ODNI, and CISA have released a joint statement alleging that Iranian hackers attempted to influence the U.S. election by sending stolen information from Donald Trump's campaign to individuals associated with Joe Biden's campaign. The statement, released in September 2024, indicates that the hackers sent unsolicited emails containing non-public material from the Trump campaign during the summer. The Harris campaign has denied using any of the materials, stating that the emails appeared to be spam or phishing attempts. The FBI, ODNI, and CISA have been aware of these efforts since June or July but did not alert the Trump campaign until recently. The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, has launched an inquiry into the matter, demanding an unclassified briefing from the FBI. Former President Trump has called this a significant instance of election interference and has questioned whether Kamala Harris will resign over the issue.
