Trump SLAMS Harris for 'illegally spying' on him after FBI reveals Iran tried to share hacked material with her campaign

FBI and other US intelligence agencies revealed that Iran attempted to share stolen material it had hacked from the Donald Trump campaign with people who worked on the Biden-Harris campaign and is continuing to send material to media outlets. Trump slammed Kamala Harris in response, saying “She and her campaign were illegally spying on me.” 

The FBI announced in a joint statement with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), “Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails.”

Former President Donald Trump reacted to the news on Truth Social writing, “The FBI caught Iran spying on my campaign and giving all of the information to Kamala Harris campaign. Therefore she and her campaign were illegally spying on me to be known as the Iran, Iran, Iran case. Will Kamala resign in disgrace from politics? Will the communist left pick a new candidate to replace her?”


Trump followed up on the statement at a rally Wednesday night, saying, "This is real election interference, not the phony crap that they've been trying to pin on me with Russia Russia Russia for years."

The Harris campaign condemned the sharing of Trump campaign data and claimed the emails sent by Iran were ignored. Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein said in a statement, “We have cooperated with the appropriate law enforcement authorities since we were made aware that individuals associated with the then-Biden campaign were among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation. We’re not aware of any material being sent directly to the campaign; a few individuals were targeted on their personal emails with what looked like a spam or phishing attempt.”

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt responded in a statement, “This is further proof the Iranians are actively interfering in the election to help Kamala Harris and Joe Biden because they know President Trump will restore his tough sanctions and stand against their reign of terror. Kamala and Biden must come clean on whether they used the hacked material given to them by the Iranians to hurt President Trump. What did they know and when did they know it?”

According to The Hill, chair of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) asked a series of questions to find out what the Harris-Walz campaign did with the information. Following the outcry, Iran denied being involved in hacking the campaign and claimed that it “does not engage in the internal uproars or electoral controversies of the United States.”
