Washington: The team leading the presidential election campaign of former US President Donald Trump said that his emails have been hacked. The team claimed that people from Iran were involved in stealing and disseminating these sensitive internal documents. Although the team leading the campaign did not provide any direct evidence of Iran’s involvement, its claim came after a report was released by the giant IT company Microsoft. This report details the efforts of foreign agents to interfere in the US election campaign in 2024.

What did Trump’s election campaign spokesperson say?

Donald Trump’s election campaign spokesman Steven Cheung has blamed “foreign sources hostile to America” ​​for the hacking. A National Security Council spokesman said in a statement that it (the council) took the report of improper foreign interference “extremely seriously”.

But, at the same time, the spokesman said that the matter has been left to the Justice Department.

What did Iran say?

Iran’s mission to the United Nations denied involvement when asked about the Donald Trump campaign’s claims. “We do not place any credence to such reports,” the mission said. “The Iranian government has no intention or motive to interfere in the US presidential election and it does not intend to do so,” the mission said.
