Iranian Hackers Attempted to Influence Biden Campaign with Stolen Trump Campaign Information, FBI Reports

The FBI has revealed that Iranian hackers sent stolen materials from the Trump campaign to associates of the Biden campaign as part of a perceived attempt to interfere in the upcoming elections. According to multiple reports, the U.S. intelligence community indicated that these hackers sought to interest Biden's team with non-public information obtained from the Trump campaign. However, the Harris campaign has stated that they did not utilize any of the materials sent by the Iranian hackers and claimed unawareness of the direct transfer. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about foreign interference in U.S. elections. The Justice Department is reportedly preparing criminal charges against those involved in the hacking effort, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations against Iranian actors.
