Trump campaign claims it was hacked, possibly by Iran

The campaign provided no specific evidence of Iran's involvement, but the claim comes 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.”
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung blamed the hack on “foreign sources hostile to the United States.” The National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday by The Associated Press.
Politico first reported Saturday on the hack. The outlet reported that it began receiving emails on July 22 from an anonymous account. The source — an AOL email account identified only as “Robert” — passed along what appeared to be a research dossier the campaign had apparently done on the Republican vice presidential nominee, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. The document was dated Feb. 23, almost five months before Trump selected Vance as his running mate.
“These documents were obtained illegally” and “intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Cheung said. #News #Politics #Trump

Microsoft is really screwing stuff up, big time.

It's not a claim by Trump only. Microsoft and Politico and other sources have said so too.

CWOM, Copter weird old man

They werent hacked they just need an excuse to backtrack what they said
-
How can they tell? They don't have anyone smart enough to figure that out. If the documents were "obtained illegally from" foreign sources, that means the campaign did something illegal to get them. Maybe they meant "by foreign sources" but are incompletely literate.

Weird how Trump/Vance can be asked and answer tough questions every day, but not a single one is asked of Kamala. Now that’s weird.
