US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign team said Saturday that some of its international communications had been hacked by those “hostile” to the United States.
“These documents 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,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Cheung was responding to revelations by the Politico news outlet that it had begun receiving emails from an anonymous account containing documents from within the Republican Party candidate’s campaign operation.
Trump’s campaign provided no specific evidence of Iran’s involvement but did imply that Tehran was responsible by mentioning a report by Microsoft researchers that was published this week.
The report said Iran government-tied hackers tried breaking into the account of a “high-ranking official” on the US presidential campaign in June.
That report did not provide further details on the official’s identity.
The hackers sent the documents to Politico from an AOL.com email address with the name “Robert” lmao
Should have signed it Bobby Jr.
I think they leaked this themselves:
- Makes it look like they knew how much Vance sucks going into it, so their decision looks less stupid
- Tries to re-create a boogeyman in Iran for everyone to be scared of
- Doesn’t actually leak anything that damning (i.e.: “See, no more pussy grabbing!”)
Makes it look like they knew how much Vance sucks going into it, so their decision looks less stupid
Doesn’t that make their decision look more stupid?
Maybe they are too stupid to realise that?
Why would a foreign adversary want to stop Trump? This would be a dream come true for them.
Iran doesn’t want the US to collapse, they want rational actors in the White House. They had a stable plan under Obama then Trump came along and started complaining about random “bad deals” and scrapped the agreements.
They see how inconpetent the campaing is and are just trying to help.
He will use this as an excuse to dump Vance
Who would be the replacement?
Hannibal Lector
Hulk Hogan or Chuck Norris
Hey, don’t forget Clint Eastwood and his empty chair.
Now is when you get Marco Rubio to move out of Florida, and then still don’t pick him.
Serious answer? Elise Stefanik
Not so serious answer? Marge Green
“Confirms security breech” = “we’re fucking morons and we deliberately clicked a pop up scam that said ‘free pictures of hulk Hogan with his shirt off’ as long as you tell us your mother’s maiden name and your first dogs name”
Given how much IQ is talked about, I was thinking it was a free IQ test.
It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need if a knife.
I think it was the guy who played “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion at his last rally.
The person said they had a “variety of documents from [Trump’s] legal and court documents to internal campaign discussions.”
My assumption is Trump and his top advisors all have regular and friendly dealings with foreign adversaries.
So I expect this was less of a security breach and more of an accidental disclosure along with other intentionally disclosed information. Something along the lines of an assistant was asked to email the candidate dossiers and oppo research, and they zipped up the entire folder sitting on their desktop named “candidates”.
