Multiple individuals linked to Iran have been indicted for their involvement in a hacking scheme targeting Donald J. Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. The indictment remains under seal, and the identities and exact number of those charged are unknown. However, the specific criminal counts and those charged could be made public as early as today.
In August, The National Pulse reported that foreign actors—believed to be Iranian—hacked high-level communications and vetting documents within the Trump campaign and attempted to pass those materials off to several corporate news outlets. Earlier this month, individuals associated with the Biden and Harris campaigns were also sent the hacked files.
Yesterday, far-left blogger Ken Klippenstein published an internal campaign vetting dossier on the 2024 Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). The 271-page document was among the materials attained by the Iranian hackers and circulated among American media. While relatively mundane, the document contained unredacted personal and private identifying information relating to Vance and his family.
Iran is believed to be actively engaged in several assassination plots against President Trump. In March, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced it is seeking information on an Iranian spy believed to be plotting attacks against the former President and his allies.
Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has stated that there are five ongoing plots against Trump. Three are being pushed by a foreign government.
