Former President Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign said Saturday that it was hacked and suggested Iranian actors were involved in stealing and distributing sensitive internal documents.
The campaign provided no specific evidence of Iran’s involvement, but the claim came a day after Microsoft issued a report detailing foreign agents’ attempts to interfere in the U.S. campaign in 2024.
It cited an instance of an Iranian military intelligence unit in June sending “a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign from a compromised email account of a former senior advisor.”
