JUST IN: Kamala Exposed After Iran Is Caught Trying To Help Her Beat Trump
Efforts by Iranian cyber terrorists to “sow discord and shape the outcome of U.S. elections” have reached new heights after U.S. intelligence officials uncovered that data stolen from the Trump campaign was quietly emailed to the Biden-Harris campaign earlier this summer.
Whether Vice President Kamala Harris’s team acted on that information is unknown, according to Fox News, but it would be a tantalizing prospect to adjust strategies and ad buys based on what the Trump campaign was discussing in mid-summer. A joint statement by the FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that Iran was behind the phishing attack. “Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,” the agencies wrote. They added that there is no evidence that Harris staffers replied to the emails containing the stolen information.

Election-year interference by international enemies has become a hallmark of U.S. elections going back to 2016, when Russia first used Facebook and other popular social media platforms to spread division surrounding the Trump-Clinton matchup. As it became known that legions of fake accounts were being controlled by Russian actors, the campaign of Hillary Clinton falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump’s campaign was working hand in glove with the Russians. Today, that threat is Iran, and U.S. intelligence services expect the threats to continue.
“Furthermore, Iranian malicious cyber actors have continued their efforts since June to send stolen, non-public material associated with former President Trump’s campaign to U.S. media organizations,” they said, adding their stated goal is to “stoke discord and undermine confidence in our electoral process.”
“As the lead for threat response, the FBI has been tracking this activity, has been in contact with the victims, and will continue to investigate and gather information in order to pursue and disrupt the threat actors responsible,” they said. During a campaign stop in Uniondale, New York, the former president said it was “insanity” for U.S. security forces to allow Iranian forces to breach his campaign.
“Foreign actors are increasing their election influence activities as we approach November. Three agencies of the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden administration – the FBI, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency – they just released a report, confirm that Iran actors hacked into the Trump campaign’s email accounts and, in turn, sought to give the hacked material to the Biden-Harris campaign. They gave them all of the materials because Biden is working with Iran, and Iran doesn’t exactly like me because they were ready to make a deal.”
