Biden’s campaign refused information about Trump offered by Iranian hackers
Iranian hackers sought to interest President Joe Biden’s campaign in information stolen from rival Donald Trump’s campaign, sending unsolicited e-mails to people connected to the Democratic president in an effort to interfere in the 2024 election, the FBI and other federal agencies said Wednesday.
The hackers sent e-mails in late June and early July to people who were associated with Biden’s campaign before he dropped out. The e-mails “contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the e-mails,” according to a U.S. government statement.
The FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency have said the Trump campaign hack and an attempted breach of the Biden-Harris campaign are part of an effort to undermine voters’ faith in the election and to stoke discord. Politico reported that it began receiving emails on July 22 from an anonymous account. The source – an AOL e-mail account identified only as “Robert” – passed along what appeared to be a research dossier that the campaign had apparently done on the Republican vice presidential nominee, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. The document was dated Feb. 23, almost five months before Trump selected Vance as his running mate.
