(Congress Report) – The presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News over the weekend and revealed that a number of its internal communications were hacked, according to a piece from the right-leaning news network. Politico, a liberal news outlet, reached out to the campaign after they started receiving a trove of internal documents related to the former president.
“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,” Steven Cheung, communications director for the Trump campaign, went on to say. “On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a Vice Presidential nominee.”
Cheung pointed out that the hack, which was allegedly perpetrated by Iran, came “after recent reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump around the same time as the Butler, PA tragedy.”
He then said, “The Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House. Any media or news outlet reprinting documents or internal communications are doing the bidding of America’s enemies and doing exactly what they want.”
Included among the documentation forwarded to Politico was a 271-page “dossier” the campaign had compiled concerning Trump’s future running mate, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance. It was dated back to February. The information contained in the dossier concerned Vance’s position on specific issues and some of the criticisms he had made about Trump in the past in a section called, “POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES.” The campaign did not divulge whether or not they had contacted law enforcement over the hacking.
It’s not clear if the leftist news outlet utilized any of the material they were sent in its reporting. I’d be absolutely shocked if they didn’t make use of it, to create some very pro-Kamala Harris propaganda, in order to please their overlords within the Democratic Party. A golden opportunity such as this one does not present itself every day.
Should Politico and the Democratic Party be investigated for possible collusion with Iran to interfere with the 2024 election? I mean, the left did that with Trump and Russia under similar circumstances, right? Perhaps someone should look into Iran and Vice President Kamala Harris working together to sway the outcome of the race? Just food for thought.
“The outlet reported that it began receiving emails from someone identifying themselves as ‘Robert’ using an anonymous AOL account on July 22, just days after the Republican National Convention ended and Trump announced Vance as his running mate,” the Fox News article noted.
“I suggest you don’t be curious about where I got them from,” they allegedly told Politico when reporters asked them how ‘Robert’ got his hands on the documents. “Any answer to this question, will compromise me and also legally restricts you from publishing them.”
Fox also stated that documents concerning another potential VP pick, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, were sent over to Politico by ‘Robert’, making the claim that he had a “variety of documents from Trump’s legal and court documents to internal campaign discussions.”
The article concluded, “The Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton campaign were infamously hacked during the 2016 election, with the U.S. putting the blame on Russia. Some of the documents were released by WikiLeaks.”
