According to Donald Trump’s campaign, Iranian operatives were the intended targets of a breach that compromised some internal communications.
On Saturday, the US news website Politico said that it had received campaign information, including reports on Ohio Senator JD Vance—Trump’s running mate—through email.
Politico announced that it has verified the papers’ legitimacy. Neither the BBC nor any third party has checked the claims.
There was a lack of specificity and proof that the Iranian government or Iranian hackers were involved in the document release, according to the campaign.
