Trump campaign confirms security breach, blames Iran
Politico said it had received anonymous emails from inside Donald Trump's campaign operation. The Republican presidential nominee's team says its communications were hacked and inferred that Iran was responsible.
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.

Hannibal Lector
Hulk Hogan or Chuck Norris

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
Why does he want to dump Vance?
He's getting bad press at the moment and Trump probably thinks that's why he's losing
He basically needs a paperweight who is a VP who gets no attention
