Today, the shoe is entirely on the other foot, with Trump and his campaign now the victims of an alleged foreign hacking and leaking operation during the most crucial months of a close American presidential contest. This time, it doesn’t seem to be Russia. Team Trump is pointing the finger at Iran; Rolling Stone has yet to independently verify that claim. The FBI is investigating the alleged hack.
According to two sources familiar with the matter, the Trump team has been scrambling to assess the extent of the damage, and how, exactly, the apparent hacking may affect different facets of the Trumpworld elite, not just the presidential campaign’s staff. “It’s very scary stuff,” one source close to Trump, who has been communicating with campaign officials in recent days about the alleged hacking operation, succinctly notes to Rolling Stone.
Is there any damage? I haven’t found anyone that’s read it. This one is odd to me. Everyone is talking about reactions to aleged hacks and shit, but no actual documents. I’m guessing they’re verifying stuff in it?
Could be that it was offered and the potential recipients (correctly) reported it to the FBI. It’s possible no one has it except the hackers right now (or at least no one reputable).
It is also possible due diligence is being done to ensure whatever was shared was actually hacked and not misinformation.
Politico was offered it weeks ago and reported it to the feds
You’re right, it was Politico. They suck pretty hard and are definitely pro trump, fr. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/12/g-s1-16687/fbi-trump-campaign-iran-hack-investigation
