Trump campaign says internal communications were hacked, including Vance 'dossier,' by foreign sources | 10 Aug 2024 | Former President Trump's campaign confirmed to Fox News on Saturday that some of its internal communications were hacked. Liberal media outlet Politico had reached out to the campaign after the news outlet started receiving internal Trump documents. "These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process," said Steven Cheung, communications director for the Trump campaign. Cheung noted that the hack allegedly by Iran came "after recent reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump around the same time as the Butler, PA tragedy." The documents sent to Politico included a "dossier" on Trump's running mate JD Vance that dated back to February, the outlet said.
