Former President Donald Trump’s campaign confirmed Saturday that internal communications were hacked, marking a significant security breach.
The campaign suggested that the hack was orchestrated by “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” citing a recent Microsoft report on Iranian spear-phishing efforts targeting a U.S. presidential campaign. The breach comes amid increasing tension between the U.S. and Iran, with Trump officials linking the hack to broader threats against the former president.
The extent of the leaked information remains unclear, but it includes sensitive internal documents, raising concerns about the impact on Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.
