FBI probes claims Iran hacked Trump campaignTrump campaign says its internal messages hacked by Iran
Donald Trump’s campaign has said some of its internal communications have been hacked and suggested it was targeted by Iranian operatives.
US news website Politico reported on Saturday that it had been emailed campaign documents including internal research carried out on Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.
“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election,” a campaign spokesman told the BBC.
Politico said it had confirmed the authenticity of the documents. The BBC has not independently verified the claims.
The campaign did not give any further details or any evidence linking the document leak to Iranian hackers or the Iranian government.
Its statement came one day after Microsoft released a report indicating that Iranian hackers targeted the campaign of an unnamed US presidential candidate in June.
Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) said that the campaign was sent a spear phishing email – a message designed to look trustworthy in order to get the target to click on a malicious link.
“Over the past several months, we have seen the emergence of significant influence activity by Iranian actors,” the MTAC report said.
Trump campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung said the June hacking attempt mentioned in the MTAC report “coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a vice presidential nominee".
“The Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House,” Mr Cheung said.
Politico said that in late July it began receiving emails from a person who identified themselves only as “Robert” using an AOL email account.
The news outlet said the Vance file was 271 pages long and based on publicly available information about Vance’s past record and statements. The email account also sent part of a research document about Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who was also a vice presidential contender, it said.
Presidential campaigns routinely research potential vice-presidential nominees in order to ferret out any potentially embarrassing revelations. Politico reported that some of Mr Vance's previous - and well-known - criticisms of Trump were labelled in the document as "potential vulnerabilities".
The Microsoft report noted: "Iranian cyber-enabled influence operations have been a consistent feature of at least the last three US election cycles."
Microsoft had released a similar report during the 2020 election saying Iranian hackers had targeted presidential campaigns.
US security sources have also warned of an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, unconnected to last month’s attempted shooting in Pennsylvania. And on Tuesday, the US justice department charged a Pakistani man alleged to have ties to Iran with plotting to assassinate US officials, potentially including the former president.
The BBC has contacted Iranian officials for comment.

Fight Breaks Out in Front of MAGA Trump Rally Attendees
Aviolent fight involving three men started suddenly outside a Donald Trump rally in Michigan yesterday.
Attendees were standing by a metal barricade in the parking lot outside of Saginaw Valley State University, where Trump was speaking that afternoon, when a brawl broke out in front of the barricade at about 10:20 a.m.
Anna Liz Nichols of Michigan Advance posted a video to her X account of the men exchanging blows. Michigan Advance said the fight was between vendors selling Trump merchandise prior to the rally.
The men in the 22-second video were filmed punching and kicking each other, before scattering across the parking lot as the scrap continued. They were eventually broken up by security guards.
The fight was particularly vicious between one young man in a Trump t-shirt who was filmed sitting on top of and punching another man on the ground, who was dressed in a Trump hoodie.
J.J. Boehm, the executive director of university communications at Saginaw Valley State University, told Newsweek: "To my knowledge, the individuals are not affiliated with SVSU. "I do not believe University Police were involved in the response to the altercation, as it is my understanding that they were inside the Ryder Center, [the] site of the campaign event, at the time of the incident."
In a statement via text reported by Michigan Advance, a Trump campaign official said: "The Trump campaign reports that all of the individuals involved in the altercation were vendors, none were attendees and all were ejected from the premises."

Man , this guy is all about publicity positive or negative as long as its free lolTrump hands out french fries, Harris visits Georgia churches
With the U.S. presidential election little more than two weeks away, Democrat Kamala Harris visited two churches on Sunday while her Republican rival, Donald Trump, visited another kind of American temple: a McDonald's.
Both candidates were scrambling for votes in the most competitive states, with Harris, the U.S. vice president, appealing to early voters in Georgia and Trump campaigning in Pennsylvania ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
At a McDonald's in suburban Philadelphia, Trump removed his suit jacket, put on a black and yellow apron and proceeded to cook batches of french fries, something he said he had wanted to do "all my life."
The former president dipped wire baskets of potatoes in sizzling oil before salting them and handing them out to customers through the restaurant's drive-through window. Thousands of people lined the street opposite the restaurant to watch.
