According to a new report — the details of which are still under investigation — Politico received emails containing "internal communications from a senior Trump campaign official," sent from an AOL email account by a person identifying themselves only as “Robert," and Trump campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, is pointing towards “foreign sources hostile to the United States” as being responsible for the data breach.
According to Politico, the emails from the hacker included "a research dossier the campaign had apparently done on Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, which was dated Feb. 23," some of which detailed Vance's past criticisms of Trump — identified in the document as “POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES.” The mysterious situation — which began in July — has yet to be commented on by Iranian government officials, presumed to be behind the breach.
