FBI Says Its Investigating Trump Campaign Documents Hack

Former President Donald Trump's campaign claimed it had been hacked by Iran.

WASHINGTON (AP) The FBI said Monday it is investigating allegations that sensitive documents from the Trump campaign were stolen in a cyber intrusion days after the campaign declared it had been hacked by Iran .

The FBI released a brief statement reading, We can confirm the FBI is investigating this matter.

The campaign provided no specific evidence of Irans involvement, but the claim came shortly after Microsoft issued a report detailing foreign agents attempts to interfere in the U.S. campaign in 2024 . The report cited an instance of an Iranian military intelligence unit in June sending a spear-phishing email to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign from a compromised email account of a former senior advisor.

Irans mission to the United Nations, when asked about the claim of the Trump campaign, denied being involved.
