On Saturday, former President Trump's campaign confirmed to Fox News that some of its internal communications were hacked.
Politico contacted the campaign after the news outlet started receiving internal Trump documents.
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.
“I suggest you don't be curious about where I got them from,” the person reportedly told Politico when reporters asked how “Robert” obtained the documents. “Any answer to this question, will compromise me and also legally restricts you from publishing them.”
“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,” said Steven Cheung, communications director for the Trump campaign.
“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,” he added.
Cheung noted that the hack allegedly by Iran came, “after recent reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump around the same time as the Butler, PA tragedy.”
He added: “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.”
The documents sent to Politico included a 271-page “dossier” the Trump campaign had put together on his eventual running mate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, that dated back to February, the outlet said.
It included Vance's past stances on issues, statements and previous criticisms of Trump in a section called “POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES.”
