The Trump campaign has confirmed that internal communications have been hacked and leaked to the media. The campaign confirmed the cybercrime after Politico received a series of stolen documents on Saturday.
Trump’s team believes Iran may have been behind the hack but has not released any information on the perpetrator.
Politico reports:
The campaign blamed “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” citing a Microsoft report on Friday that Iranian hackers “sent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign.” Microsoft did not identify the campaign targeted by the email and declined to comment Saturday. POLITICO has not independently verified the identity of the hacker or their motivation, and a Trump campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, declined to say if they had further information substantiating the campaigns’ suggestion that it was targeted by Iran.
“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,” Cheung said in a statement provided to the outlet. “On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a vice presidential nominee.”
Cheung did not comment about if the campaign has been in touch with Microsoft to confirm.
Politico claims it began receiving the emails in late July.
The report states:

and people in Iran are familiar with Politico? Its not a well known site unless you live here..now if they had sent it to CNN or MSNBC that would have made more sense
I believe Trump has a mole in his campaign. He needs to ferret that person out and get rid of them. Heck, it may even be a family member.
Or a traitor in their midst.
look at the number of people who turned on him after they leave, I’d said about 25% of his new hires are traitors in training.
Her “goal in life” pretty much demonstrates how desperate they are!
IF this is foreign they just told everyone who they’re afraid of to win.
Pelosi is admitting they tried to off Trump on July 13th..then again yesterday with the sabotage of his plane..what next, poisoning, its next ya know..they are studying the Russian model
CIA FBI DIA NSA LGBTQ whatever, they’re all the same and yes it was them.
And for some reason he is FORCED to use USSS for security, and not permitted to hire his own.
They are going to try again, yesterday with the plane was Plan C..ya think there was a leak by accident..come on..someone punctured a hole in the hydrolic tank, easy peasy
there is only ONE thread from thegatewaypundit.
whatever other thread there is, does not show up in title search.
The other thread is from Politico, which is ~.
the fact that there are several threads on a topic is a GOOD thing, my friend.
Iran and Obama are allies.
I bet Trump never uses it or even carries it.
Was there no afvisor to plan for this treachery by planting false docs to be explicitely hacked? Im sure there was, Pres Trump knows how people / campaigns can be betrayed

They mentioned sources hostile to the US so yeah.
BTTT
Smells bad—timing when Harris-Walz was falling on the ropes—this comes up. How much is true? Who can say? Doctored to make Trump-Vance look bad. Any innocent thing, with a bit of doctoring, can be made to look awful. Just add a word (Like the forbidden “N” word) and anything can seem racist and ugly. I will not believe such comments—even if true in some form.
I wonder if they will treat the media who report on it the same way they treated Julian Assange?
What about a land line?
