The FBI has confirmed it is investigating the alleged hacking of Donald Trump’s campaign in a probe that reportedly also includes attempts to gain access to the email accounts of officials in the former presidential campaign of Joe Biden and his then-running mate Kamala Harris.
An FBI spokesperson acknowledged the law enforcement agency’s involvement Monday, but declined to elaborate on the scope of the investigation or any suspects. However, a report issued last week by Microsoft said that Iranian hackers sent a “spear phishing email” to an official with an unnamed presidential campaign.
The apparent breach resulted in sensitive Trump campaign documents being emailed to POLITICO last month, which first reported on the cybersecurity lapse Saturday.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the FBI investigation.A person familiar with the Trump campaign’s response to the incident confirmed Monday that a senior Trump campaign official had their personal email account compromised this June, and would likely also have had access to the opposition research on Vance.
The person was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters.
