Multiple news outlets have recently received confidential material from inside the Donald Trump campaign, including a report vetting JD Vance as a potential vice presidential candidate. The outlets, namely Politico, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, have chosen not to disclose the specifics of the information they obtained. Instead, they have broadly discussed the potential hack of the campaign and provided general descriptions of the material.
This situation contrasts with the 2016 presidential campaign, during which a Russian hack exposed emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta. The leaked emails were published by Wikileaks, and mainstream news organizations extensively covered their contents.
