Iran Hacked Trump Campaign, Turned Over Stolen Materials To Biden-Harris Campaign

The Islamic Republic of Iran hacked former President Donald Trump’s campaign and turned over the stolen materials to the Biden-Harris campaign, federal officials said in a statement.

Federal officials from ODNI, FBI, and CISA said in a joint statement that Iranian hackers sent the stolen materials to then-Biden-Harris campaign officials in June and July.

Information that the hackers sent to the then-Biden-Harris campaign “contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails.”

“This is further proof the Iranians are actively interfering in the election to help Kamala Harris and Joe Biden because they know President Trump will restore his tough sanctions and stand against their reign of terror,” said Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign National Press Secretary. “Kamala and Biden must come clean on whether they used the hacked material given to them by the Iranians to hurt President Trump. What did they know and when did they know it?”

Although President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race in mid-July after getting crushed by Trump during the presidential debate, many on his campaign were retained by Harris when the campaign was given to her.

The federal officials claimed that there was “currently no information indicating” Biden-Harris officials replied to the emails.

The statement claimed that Iran’s goal was to “stoke discord and undermine confidence in our electoral process,” which is contradicted in part by numerous statements that federal officials have made in recent months about how Iran is specifically trying to stop Trump.

The Harris campaign tried to distance itself from the Biden campaign and claimed that they were “among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation.”

National security officials have warned that Iran is trying to sabotage Trump’s campaign, Iran hacked Trump’s campaign and gave the information to news organizations, and Iran has attempted to assassinate Trump.

Hillary Clinton: It’s A ‘Double Standard’ For Kamala Harris To Have To Explain Her Policies

Twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed this week that Vice President Kamala Harris faced a “double standard” from voters who wanted her to explain her policy positions.

Clinton made the remarks during an interview with Kara Swisher on the “On with Kara Swisher” podcast only a couple of weeks after Harris finally released her policy platform after weeks of avoiding talking to the media.

Clinton suggested that Harris, who is now the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, does not owe it to the voters or the media to explain her positions.

“She does not have to do it, Kara. I’m going to just cut to the chase,” Clinton said. “In fact, she’s put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who’s truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies.”

“She actually doesn’t just have policies and concepts. She has plans about what to do,” Clinton claimed, even though Harris’ policy platform lacks specific detail on a wide range of issues. “I think it’s, um, you know, it’s a double standard and it’s a double standard that is partly because they are still getting to know her.”

“But also because they’re still grappling with the idea like, ‘Oh, am I really going to vote for a woman to be president and commander in chief?'” she continued. “This is particularly true, let’s just say it and underline it, about white women [voters].”
