Analysts and intelligence experts warned on Sunday that foreign powers may be trying to disrupt the US presidential election after representatives of candidate Donald Trump's team claimed their email systems were hacked by hackers working for Iran, according to the Washington Post.
Currently, two members of the House of Representatives from the Democratic Party, who served on the Intelligence and Security Committees, have called on the authorities to hold briefings and declassify information related to possible foreign interference in the election.
Trump's campaign made the statement after it received a request from the media for an internal vetting document of Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance that was sent to the editorial board.
US officials have not confirmed that the campaign's email was indeed hacked. Trump's team also did not provide relevant evidence.
The campaign headquarters of US presidential candidate Donald Trump said that their computers had been hacked.
The campaign suggested that Iranian figures were involved in the theft and distribution of confidential internal documents. The team did not provide any concrete evidence, but the statement came the day after the Microsoft report. It detailed attempts by foreign agents to interfere in the 2024 US election campaign.
