According to Donald Trump’s campaign, Iranian operatives were the intended targets of a breach that compromised some internal communications.
On Saturday, the US news website Politico said that it had received campaign information, including reports on Ohio Senator JD Vance—Trump’s running mate—through email.
A campaign spokeswoman informed the BBC that the papers were sought out from hostile foreign sources with the intention of interfering with the 2024 election.
Politico announced that it has verified the papers’ legitimacy. Neither the BBC nor any third party has checked the claims.
There was a lack of specificity and proof that the Iranian government or Iranian hackers were involved in the document release, according to the campaign.
