The Trump campaign said Saturday that some of its internal communications had been hacked and suggested Iran was responsible and seeking to undermine the former president’s prospects in the November election.
Documents belonging to the campaign “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,” Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, said in a statement.
He cited recent statements from the U.S. government that accused Iran of seeking ways to prevent Trump from returning to the White House, including an alleged assassination plot. Cyber-threat research published Friday by Microsoft has also detailed Iran’s election hacking operations.
