FBI announced on Wednesday that Iranian hackers have attempted to intervene in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The hackers sent emails to contacts of President Joe Biden’s campaign, using information allegedly stolen from former President Donald Trump’s campaign. The messages included excerpts from Trump's campaign documents aiming to lure Biden's team. The FBI found no evidence that anyone responded to these emails. Kamala Harris' campaign called the emails “unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity,” treating them mostly as spam or phishing. Harris's campaign spokesperson, Morgan Finkelstein, stated, “We condemn in the strongest terms any effort by foreign actors to interfere in US elections.” The emails were sent before Trump’s campaign publicly acknowledged the hack on August 10. Iranian hackers reportedly stole and spread confidential Trump campaign documents. News outlets, including Politico, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, received these materials but have not reported the details.

Secret Service told Donald Trump in a private meeting that significant new security arrangements will be needed if he wants to keep playing golf, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.
