Iranians Indicted for Allegedly Hacking Trump Campaign: Report
Multiple Iranian nationals have reportedly been indicted on criminal charges related to the regime’s hacking of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.
A federal grand jury signed off on the indictment Thursday and the Justice Department could announce the charges as early as Friday, according to Politico.
The charges pertain to an Iranian cyber operation against the Trump campaign this summer, in which material stolen from the Republican nominee’s team was offered to media outlets and President Biden’s now-defunct campaign in an apparent attempt to influence the outcome of the 2024 election.
The Trump campaign confirmed the hacking last month – blaming Tehran – after Politico reported that it had received a dossier on GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance from an AOL email account belonging to an entity going by “Robert.” . . .
Officials from the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency later confirmed that Iran was behind a hack and attempted to breach Biden campaign email accounts as well.
